I flew to Crete on Friday, June 2nd with some fellow friends in the program and so far I have been having a fantastic time! The village of Alikianos is beautiful and everyone at the Kapsomenos Foundation has been so kind and welcoming. Professor Vamvakas has taken us to numerous historical landmarks as well as guiding our group through the Samaria Gorge and up to the Ottoman ruins. I have also been finding the classes we're taking very interesting and relevant, not only to my degree but to the problems happening around the world. I'm excited about the rest of the program, and I'm particularly looking forward to experiencing the occupied island of Cyprus.
