The Greek Language and Culture School “Peek at Greek” is a place where teachers with rich experience and love for teaching combine our love of language with our love for every element of our history and culture. We are addressing students of the Greek language, Greeks living abroad interested in learning the Greek language, lovers of alternative tourism and families wishing to spend creative holiday in Greece.

Teachers specialised in the acquisition of Greek as a second/ foreign language and rich experience and passion for teaching, that we decided to combine our love for language with our love for every element of history and culture.

Language teaching is for us something more than just memorising rules and words. It is a journey in place and time that we choose to do with you.

We enjoy teaching Greek, walking the streets of our country, learning its history and chatting with locals, as we come into contact with the Greek nature, art and entertainment.

We discover together the language that is hidden in our songs, movies, tales and recipes.

We come, therefore, out of the limits of the standard class and we learn Greek while traveling, hiking or while we make a historic walk.

We are inviting you in a tour in the language and culture of our country!

"It was perfect. I learn very much about the Language, the Culture and the history."

Lisa Blaszczyk, student from Germany

All in all was my experience in Thessaloniki by peek at Greek perfect.
I had a lots of fun and my teachers and the other Students were very nice.
The locations is in the center of the City, so it was very easy to go there.
I did the intensiv class and it was really super intensiv. I‘ve learned so much.
Also the activities were interesting and I‘ve learned pretty much about the Country,
the food, the history and the wine. :)
So it was a really good idea to stay in Thessaloniki and do the class at Peek
at Greek.

"4 weeks great experience"

Ko Shiratori, student from Japan

It was difficult time under Covid, but the teachers were handling very well.
2 Teachers, Katerina and Ilia, were very experienced and patient.
Compared to other schools in Thessaloniki, the price of the school is very affordable and is located very center.
It will be good choice for sure.
