2. SUNDAY, 23. 04. 2017
This was the first day of our trip. We had
to get up at 2 o’clock, because our air
plane flew away at 20 past 7. We were so
excited. First flight lasted 1 hours and 20
minutes. We watched beautiful views from
air plane. We came to Vienna. Second
flight lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. We
visited Athens.
The last flight lasted 1 hour and 10
minutes. Finally we came to Rhodes.
At the airport waited for us driver,
who drove us to the Semiramis Hotel.
There the Greek students welcomed
us. After our meeting we went for a
dinner to the nearest restaurant. Then
we went for a walk around Rhodes. At
9 p.m. we were really tired so we
came back to the hotel and fall asleep.

3. MONDAY, 24.04.2017
On that day, after eating a delicious breakfast,
we went together to the city center. We took some
photos and went to the beach. We could relax
there and, of course, take beautiful pictures.
After that we had lunch and came back to hotel.
We met Hungarian and Greek colleagues. They
invited us for coffee and we all agreed. We went
to the “Coffee Island’ – a great cafeteria in
Rhodes.
We came back to the hotel and we started
preparing for official welcome dinner.
We went to the “Black Adder” restaurant,
where the dinner was held. After eating
delicious dishes and dessert, and knowing the
rest of the group, we returned to the
“Semiramis” hotel and we went to sleep.
It was really a great day!

4. TUESDAY, 25.04.2017
On that day we spent most of our time at school.
At the beginning the pupils took us to the school.
After this, a presentation on the partner countries
of the project took place. We could learn basic
information about each country.
Then there were workshops: musical and artistic.
Our group was divided. Some people went to
music (me and Oliwia) and the other went to art
classes. On the musical workshops we learned to
sing songs: in Greek, Polish and Hungarian. It was
really funny.
Later we visited Melissokomiki Dodecanese –
the biggest company in the Dodecanese producing
and packaging beehive products, and the
Byzantine church of St. Nikolas Fountoukli. We
went to dinner where we tried traditional Greek
dishes. After that we visited Filerimos. From there
we could see the panorama of Rhodes. It was
amazing. We came back to hotel and we had free
time. So our group played cards. It was great time!

6. WEDNESDAY, 26.04. 2017
We woke up at half past 7. We went for
a breakfast and at half past 8 we had
departure from a hotel. Between 8:50 and
9:35 we had art workshop with Mrs Efi
Kokkinaki, after that we learnt Greek
language with Mrs Marianthi Parasou &
Kety Zervou. Then we had other activities.
After workshop in school we went to
Acropolis in Lindos. There was really
beautiful. We watched the antic
architecture. After this we had lunch time
at Mavrikos restaurant. We ate traditional
Greek food. I really liked that. Then we
went to Thermai of Kalithea. We were
walking in the sea. After that we came
back to the hotel and had a free time.

7. THURSDAY, 27.04. 2017This day was fantastic! First, when we were at
school, we learnt some Greek dances with Mr
Stylianidis, psychical Education Greek teacher. I think
the dances which we danced were very rhythmic and
not difficult to dance. Everyone had a great time.
Next we saw some dances by students from Greece.
These dances, as well as all other lessons were great.
I hope, in future, I will dance this again.
Next, we had a small break and time to talk with our
friends from other countries, drink something and eat.
We could go outside. I liked it, because in our school
we haven’t any place where we can sit, outside.
Then we played crycket, a sport like tennis. To
do that we must go to the playground, and I
was surprised how big it was. There were lots
of playgrounds: one, to play football, one to
play volleyball, etc. When we finished playing
crycket, we went back to school and one
person from every country of our project
Erasmus Plus, told us about Education system
of his her country. About Poland’s education
system told us Kamil.
After these presentations, we went to cinema
9D. There were many fantastic special effects.
We watched two movies: first about Colossus
of Rhodes, and second – a funny, short movie,
race alluding to Greece mythology. Some
effects are so realistic! Next we had free time.
At the end of this day we went to the art
exhibition. First we had time to look at the
paintings. After that we had a lecture “Space,
part of our lives” by Mr Vaios Lappas
& Anastasios Veliadis about the jobs of the
future.

8. FRIDAY, 28.04. 2017
On this day we could see some special places
in Greece, but first we went to school and
watched presentations. Next, we had a
fantastic quiz about Greece, our project and
people in this project. I think this quiz was a
fantastic idea, to sum up the visit.
After that, we visited the Old Town and and
the Knight’s Castle with amazing mosaics.
I remember, I was suprised, because there
were so many details in them!
Both Old Town and Knight’s Castle, we visited
with a guide, who told us lots of interesting
facts about these places.
Next we visited RODIAKI newspaper printing
plant, we saw how to print newspapers, and
how worked printers in this place.
At the end of the day we had a farewell party,
with some Greek traditional dances. Everyone
had a good fun, danced and talked with our
friends. The music was fantastic, like the whole
day.
