Ines Marchandise (France)
Hairdresser - 3 months Internship (February 2025 – April 2025)
My Erasmus experience has been one of the most enriching adventures of my life. Living in Greece for three months allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, improve my English, and discover a new culture full of history and warmth. I met wonderful people from different countries, shared unforgettable moments, and learned a lot about myself. This experience helped me grow personally and professionally, and I feel more confident and open-minded. I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve lived during this time, it’s a chapter I’ll never forget.
Sarah Ruiz (France)
Hotel Service - 3 months Internship (February 2025 – April 2025)
Kalimera, my name is Sarah i arrived in athens in the begging of february for 3 months, and every day is an adventure. I work in a hotel in the south of Athens next to the beach called "Oasis".
My team is amazing, im in the breakfast side and love to talk with customers, some are from Greece so i can practice my little vocabulary but also from asia, america, and of course Europe, and sometimes french people (feels like breathing fresh air talking in my language).
I met so much people since i arrived then i have my crew now : France, Germany, Austria or Greece our group is cosmopolitan.
When you live an experience like this, you are feeling fully happy because of the meeting you made. Everyone have a good energy and it's feel great to be surrounded by only good people.
Im feeling confident also now to talk in an other language and keep truing even sometimes i don't find my words.
But now it's the end and the most important is to never forget all the thing you lived on your experience and the opportunities that you have now thanks for this experience.
I would never regret coming to this beautiful country.
ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ, thank you Erasmus+ for giving me a chance to live this.
Benoit Milhau (France)
Museum guide - 6 months Internship (December 2023 – May 2024)
I have to say that the Erasmus+ experience is a really great experience. For me it has been a life changing one, because it helped me to get a job directly at the end of the internship. However if I may tell to the future interns, you have to be creative when you do your Erasmus. Try things, ask to do things, that's really how I enjoyed even more my stay here in Greece and in the museum. So yes, Erasmus+ is a really great program or I must say tool. But we have to use this tool in a lot of creative way so we get the whole experience done.
Celine Freneaud (France)
Receptionist - 4 months Internship (August – December 2023)
Erasmus+ is a wonderful experience for your professional life but also for your private life. It will allow to develop new skills of course but it also will help you to discover that you have hidden talents.
Athens is an exciting city that you have to discover in all its aspects: History, architecture and lifestyle. It is nice night and day.
I met so many nice people there. Greek people are kind and lovely but everyone who meet them will tell you the same thing than me.
So enjoy this kindship to find yourself!

Alfons, María and Sam (Spain)
Social Workers - 2 months Internship (June – July 2023)
Being in Erasmus here in Greece has a been a great life experience and very good for the course we are studying. We have worked in the company Faros with refugees that where minors, and it’s made us learn many things. It’s been beautiful because we have created a very big bond with the working staff and the refugee kids. We worked mainly in the dropping center and we assisted the people there with everything they needed, we cooked for them, helped them wash their clothes, play games… We aswell helped clean the center and other needs. Apart from the dropping center, we assisted in the school Faros has, when the staff needed our help we went there and accompanied the kids in their education and made various projects with them about daily life skills, social media etc. On the other side, the house were we stayed was very nice, perfect for all the comodities we needed and it was aswell very close to the center of Athens wich has been very good for transportation. We have aswell had a chance for turism and we’ve been in many places like Acropolis, museums, beaches, Delphi temple, Santorini etc. We would definetly repeat again this experience, we are very happy!!!
The last three months have been great. Very nice encounters in a magnificent historical city. The Greeks are really very welcoming, kind and benevolent, even more so if you try to learn some expressions in their language. Professionally, I met a great team who work in a good atmosphere and who really helped me to progress in English. Of course, Greece does not stop at Athens. I had the chance to go to Delphi, Meteora and the islands and I have never been disappointed by the beauty of the landscapes!
Ces trois derniers mois ont été super. De très belles rencontres dans une ville magnifique et chargée d'histoire. Les Grecs sont vraiment très accueillants, gentils et bienveillants, encore plus si vous essayer d'apprendre quelques expressions dans leur langue.
Professionnellement, j'ai rencontré une super équipe qui travaille dans une bonne ambiance et qui m'a vraiment aidé à progresser en anglais.
Biensur, la Grèce ne s'arrête pas qu'à Athènes. J'ai eu la chance d'aller à Delphes, aux Météores ou encore sur les îles et je n'ai jamais été déçue par la beauté des paysages !

It was an enriching experience mainly on a human level. The hospitality of the Oasis hotel was remarkable, accommodating, kind and benevolent.
This experience allowed me to acquire softs skills like self-confidence and independence.
By going abroad without a reference, you must create your brands and adapt to all situations.
This is an experience that will allow you to improve your CV, your English and will take you out of your comfort zone.
