2nd Primary school of Pyrgos Greece

  • Our school is located in Pyrgos Ileias, 100kms away from Patra's city and 20kms away from Ancient Olympia (the birthplace of the Olympic Games). It is a friendly, peaceful town of about 30.000 citizens. Our city is near the sea (about 10kms away) and very closes to the Alfeios, the mythological river. The area has fields of olive trees, vineyards, vegetables and fruits. Our city is, mostly, famous for the International Olympic Film Festival for young people that is organized every year. Additionally the port of Katakolo, 10kms away from Pyrgos, is not only a popular destination for Cruise ships but also known for the fresh fish restaurants and its traditional houses.

    Our school has about 300 students between the ages of  7 to 12 years old and is located to the centre of the town. The staff includes 25 teachers of different fields. They use innovative educational methods and mostly they have, after a long teaching career, a great experience in art, in long life learning, in museum educational programs and in environmental issues. The 2nd Primary school of Pyrgos has implemented with great success a lot of different kinds of educational projects about environment, art, museology, literature and healthy life style.

Greece - day 5

 On the final day, we made a guided tour on the Archeological Site of Ancient Olympia, visiting the Archeological Museum. This was combined with a workshop on "Nature and Sports in the Sanctuary of Olympia” held by the Environmental Centre of Krestena. Finally, we went to Floka village, watching the process of olive oil making and soap making. There we had the farewell lunch, where we got the Certificates of Attendance, danced traditional greek dances and ate typical Mediterranean food.
