Because Lesvos is an ideal place to live and study- in a stimulating and safe environment

Lesvos is one of the largest and most beautiful islands of Greece. It is a living natural laboratory, where natural and human environment, history and culture mix together in spectacular and diverse ways, while the whole island is a UNESCO Geopark.

Living in a medium size town such as Mytilene is different to the big Greek urban centers: it is more comfortable, more safe, less costly and altogether more authentic. This is a place to study, to learn, to experience, to love, to feel, to seek, to try, to achieve- a place which will stay in your heart and mind long after your graduation.
