The busiest day of the Brussels Holiday Fair was today, Sunday 10th February! So many people came by that 3 people working for Filomathia were not enough sometimes!

On the whole, everything went really well! We achieved the goals we had set at the beginning of the Expo and made very interesting connections with other business people who view tourism not like the average man does. The real outcome of our effort will be estimated in a month after the Expo, when all "after Expo" contacts are made, but we know for sure that we did really well!

The heart of Europe knows education can be nicely combined with vacations, that Greek is easier than thought to be and that Filomathia and the whole region of Apokoronas, Chania, Crete, is here for all those who love Greece! Thank you for staying informed!

A really busy day

Everybody being busy

Too much work today as it was Saturday and an enormous number of visitors came by the Expo. That's why we have only a few pictures today. All of us were working full time at full speed!!

A special day also for us and the whole Greek speaking world: The International Day of the Greek Language! A lot of visitors were interested in this new institution and many of them expressed their admiration and gratitude towards the contribution of the Greek Civilization to all humanity... We even heard a Greek song sang by a Belgian visitor, while a Dutch one burst into tears explaining why "his heart is left in Greece", as he said.

Quite a touching day for us, full of encouragement by many Expo visitors as to what we do and how we decided to promote our country... We have been amazed by how much affection we received today... We have friends out there, after all...

Good Morning

Filomathia and the Minister of Tourism

Today's surprise was a visit to our Expo by the Minister of Tourism, Ms E. Kountoura, who got really excited to see FILOMATHIA-Greek Language Centre among the Greek exhibitors! The picture taken shows exactly how unexpected the visit to our Filomathia's stand was (expressions of wonder on the faces of both Eirini and Eva from Filomathia, then the Minister standing proud and then the Director of the National Greek Tourism Organisation in Brussels, Ms E. Skarveli, full of joy!

Today, also, was INTERACTION day with the Greek language! Lots of visitors were interested in writing their own names in Greek on a whiteboard, playing with the Greek alphabet and speaking their very first Greek words! There were also visitors who already spoke Greek well enough and have travelled to Greece many times, thus, their interest in our work and the location of our school in Crete was profound! We could say that today A LOT of Greek was heard in the Salon des Vacances Expo!! Until tomorrow!

Channels and newspapers like ERT, Chaniotika Nea, Nea TV, Zarpa News, Hania News and Apokoronas Life made extensive reports on the event. More specifically:
