Shipping is a key sector for the Greek economy and the Port of Pireaus is a major European hub for passengers and shipping. In this program students dive deep into the maritime management industry in Athens with visits to major and minor firms as well as research presentations with the faculty and students from the University of Piraeus. Of course, they also must enjoy the amazing, fresh cuisine and travel experience its historical heritage. ESA arranges all of this and more!
