Greece Hotels: Develop a New Skill

By Emily Collins


Holidaymakers staying in Greece hotels have some wonderful opportunities to do things that aren't usually part of a standard Mediterranean package holiday. Of course there is the opportunity to bask in the hot Greek sunshine on some of Europe's best beaches while sampling the fresh seafood so common in Mediterranean destinations with an abundance or coastline.

Whether you plan to learn a new language or even book yourself into a cooking school, you'll find that there are many different classes that you can join in Athens. You can even mix sightseeing with traditional Greek dance.

Greece's capital is particularly good for visitors looking to pick up new culinary skills. Greek chef Diane Kochilas has a cookery school that runs classes on the holiday islands and in the capital. Students will be taught a variety of skills and dishes, returning home with knowledge of how to make everything from grilled lamb dishes to traditional Greek salads and fried kalamari salads with olive oil.

A beautiful and spacious villa in the centre of Kifissia is the best place to pick up new culinary skills. You can also arrange excursions from Greece hotels to the Greek house, a centre that arranges traditional folk dances for holidaymakers. However, the main reason that people visit Greek House is to learn the local language and classes come in a number of guises from Ancient Greek to Business Greek. If you want to decipher the Greek on ancient monuments then ancient Greek is your best bet.

The centre of Athens has a lot of language schools that offer easy access to the city's sites either before or after a day of lessons. The school is located a few streets away from the Parko dikastirion, one of the best picnic spots in Athens which is close enough to the city centre for visitors to stay in some of the best hotels in Greece whilst taking language classes, sightseeing and picnicking.
