Ancient wonders, sacred silence, sea views & sweet treats ✨🌊🍦
Started the day tracing footsteps through Ephesus—columns, ruins, and echoes of a once-great city. Sailed thru the stunning Strait of Samos, where turquoise waters separate history and myth.
Landed on Patmos, the island of revelations. Stepped into the stillness of the Cave of the Apocalypse, then climbed to the hilltop Monastery of Saint John—a fortress of faith with sweeping Aegean views.
Balanced the sacred with the simple: a dip in a sun-drenched beach, and the most perfect gelato to end the day. 🍨

✨ Strolling through history in Athens 🇬🇷
From the majestic Acropolis to the cobbled charm of Plaka, every step felt like a journey through time. Topped it off with creamy gelato, lively Greek dancing lessons, and a whole lot of laughter under the Mediterranean sun 💃🍦🏛️

🚨Attention, mortals!🚨
The time has come. Our brave band of students, families, and faculty are officially departing for Greece—land of gyros, gods, and great adventures!✈️
They've studied the myths, packed the sunscreen (we hope), and now they’re off to walk the same ground as Athena, Poseidon, and maybe even that guy who thought a wooden horse was a good idea. 🐴
Stay tuned as they channel their inner gods and goddesses:
Athena’s wisdom (for museum tours),
Hermes’ speed (through airport security),
Apollo’s brilliance (for sunny photos and flawless historical facts),
and Zeus’ power (for patience when students ask “Are we there yet?” every 10 minutes).
May the WiFi be strong, the feta be fresh, and the sandals be comfy. Let the odyssey begin! 🏛️🌊⚡️ #GreekSquad2025 #TheTrojanWay
