Commitment to philoxenia

Philoxenia is the ancient Greek term for the concept of hospitality and one of the pillars of Greek culture. The notion of xenia is rooted in a commitment to being a gracious host, and extends this warm reception to strangers (xenos). From the bustling metropolises to the charming rural villages, the Greek culture is one which entices and captivates with each encounter. To study or pursue a professional course here is inextricably linked with the opportunity to be welcomed into traditions and relationships that will leave lasting impressions.
