Student testimonial: “Greece was much more than I had ever anticipated. I was granted the chance to spend my birthday in one of the countries I always wanted to visit. Kalymnos was one of the most majestic, beautiful places I’d ever seen. The sweet countryside and generous people were such a surprise, as was the rest of the trip. Kalymnos was like something out of a travel brochure, or a getaway pamphlet. The cerulean blue water, even on a cloudy day, the photogenic countryside, and the mountains surrounding the entire island were beyond picturesque. Kalymnos has a special place in my heart. The people I met and the culture I experienced is something I will remember forever.” – Justine Murray, who participated in the summer 2016 Study Abroad Greece program.
