After a busy few months of studying, extracurriculars and school life, the boarders from Collège Champittet embarked on a refreshing trip to Greece during the Easter break. This journey offered them a deep dive into the rich tapestry of Greek culture, encompassing everything from ancient archaeological sites to the timeless tales of classical mythology. Over the course of 12 days, the students were treated to an itinerary that was as educational as it was exhilarating, with stops in Athens and the Cyclades. Guided by experts, they marveled at the historic Acropolis, the imposing Palamidi Fortress, and the striking Corinth Canal, bridging the gap between past and present through these architectural wonders.
The trip was not just about historical exploration; it was also a celebration of Greek lifestyle and natural beauty. The students savored the flavors of traditional Greek cuisine, a testament to the country's rich culinary heritage. Adventures took them from the serene Monastery of the Holy Trinity of Aegina to the vibrant streets of Mykonos, with kayaking excursions offering a unique perspective on the island's stunning landscapes. This blend of cultural immersion and outdoor activity ensured that the boarders returned to Collège Champittet with not only a deeper appreciation for Greek history but also rejuvenated spirits and a strengthened sense of camaraderie among peers.
