Learn Greek Through Experiences
The Tinos Island Retreat
Learn Greek. Live Greece.
Tinos
Tinos is one of the most authentic and artistic islands of Greece, famous for its picturesque villages, its peaceful rhythm of life, and its rich tradition in marble craftsmanship. It’s the ideal place to slow down, connect, and experience Greece beyond tourism.
At The Nostos Hub, we invite you to learn Greek by living it through a 7-day immersive language retreat that blends structured lessons with real cultural experiences. This is a unique opportunity to learn Greek holistically, inside the island’s daily life, surrounded by locals, flavours, movement and nature.
Throughout the week, you will enjoy daily Greek language sessions along with cultural activities such as cooking classes, wine tasting, dancing workshops, and guided tours across Tinos’ most photogenic traditional villages.
Here, Greek is not just studied; it is lived.
The Story Behind the Experience
What if your Greek lesson didn’t start in a classroom, but in a garden, with the sound of cicadas and the smell of Greek coffee?
In Tinos, language comes alive through real moments: cooking together, walking through stone-paved villages, tasting wine, dancing, laughing.
Here, Greek is not memorised. It’s lived.

I highly recommend Nostos Hub for any level
As a frequent visitor to Greece for work, I wanted to learn the language from scratch. Nostos Hub not only made learning fun and interesting, but also taught in a way I don’t think I could have found elsewhere. My weekly lessons included real Greek life—ad videos, pop and traditional songs, TV programs, recipes, and magazine excerpts. This kind of study showed me how Greeks actually speak every day: slang, idioms, even filler words like “um” and “like.” I’ve been studying with Nostos Hub for years; I can get around comfortably in Greek - speaking and reading - and the lessons still fascinate me. I highly recommend Nostos Hub for any level.

USAIt has been an amazing experience!
Filisia is the most incredible tutor I’ve ever had! She tailors her teaching to each individual student, adapting the program to fit your needs. She easily recognizes your strengths and areas for improvement, and helps you grow in both. Beyond being an outstanding teacher, she is also wonderfully kind and supportive. Whenever something feels challenging, she encourages you to keep going and makes you believe you can do it — a rare quality that truly sets her apart. I would wholeheartedly recommend learning Greek with Filisia to anyone. It has been an amazing experience!

SpainExceptional Greek language program
As part of the Greek diaspora, staying connected to my heritage through language has always been deeply meaningful to me. Filisia has played a key role in helping me preserve that connection. Her deep knowledge, experience, and inspiring teaching have been truly invaluable. During my recent trip to Greece, I was able to navigate, communicate, and connect on my own — and everything I had learned with her made the experience infinitely richer. Thanks to her exceptional Greek language program at Nostos Hub, I now feel confident and proud to engage with my culture in an authentic and fulfilling way.

QatarI highly recommend Nostos Hub courses
I have been a student working with Nostos Hub for the past 2 years. It makes learning Greek fun and enjoyable and tailor the material to suit my interests. It is particularly adept at teaching phrases and expressions that are used in everyday conversation and at the same time, never ignores the basic grammar and important aspects of learning the language. I highly recommend Nostos Hub courses.

USANostos Hub has created a truly personalized learning experience
Over the last two years, I have absolutely loved learning from Nostos Hub. Our lessons have been a wonderful mix of conversation and grammatical practice, always tailored to what makes the most sense for me — my lifestyle, my daily activities, and the situations I’m likely to encounter. This has made the language we use and the conversations we have deeply relevant and practical. Instead of simply following a textbook syllabus, Nostos Hub has created a truly personalised learning experience. It has felt engaging, adaptable, and directly applicable to my life. For that, I am extremely grateful.

UKI would highly recommend
My name is Oleg Petrov, I learn Greek with Filisia Douvara for more than 1 year. I am highly satisfied with the efficiency of our lessons, which are well structured, intense and highly productive. The learning material is very solid and well prepared. Filisia is a great teacher, fully committed to her job, the schedules are flexible which allows me to combine the classes with my highly intensive work. During our lessons we also dedicate some of our time to understanding better the Greek history and Greek culture. I am very happy with my progress in Greek and I would highly recommend to use this resource to other prospects who want to develop their knowledge of this great Greek language.

MonacoI feel inspired by the language
Since having private classes and doing the online B2 mastercourse with Nostos Hub, I have noticed my Greek improve so much more because of the practical, engaging & interactive approach Filisia brings to her teaching. Having felt stuck with my Greek for a long time, I love how Filisia’s approach is based on real day-to-day context rather than old school textbook style learning. I feel inspired by the language and so excited by the progress possible with Filisia & Nostos Hub. Χίλια ευχαριστώ για την έμπνευση σας Φιλισία ❤️

UKI'm grateful for Nostos Hub’s thorough and flexible teaching style
The ongoing Greek studies with Nostos Hub over a number of years were invaluable in a number of ways. As an active musician and writer of lyrics and stories, I found the study of Greek language to help in challenging my mind, to keep my interest in language alive, and to give a deeper understanding of my own mother tongue. I'm grateful for Nostos Hub’s thorough and flexible teaching style.

CanadaI've really enjoyed my lessons with Nostos Hub
I've really enjoyed my lessons with Nostos Hub! I've gained a better understanding of the intricacies of Greek grammar and am more comfortable constructing more complex sentences. I've also been able to expand my vocabulary quite a bit. The lessons are great because they are tailored to my needs and we go over creative, fun topics as a way to learn.

USAAn unexpected bonus
I have been very happy with my progress in Greek learning since starting with Filisia. My conversation, comprehension and grammatical knowledge have all improved and, just as importantly, I have gained a new knowledge of Greek etymology (my favourite!), culture and history - an unexpected bonus. Would highly recommend.

NorwayI would highly recommend Filisia!
I've been having lessons for just over 6 months now and would highly recommend Filisia! She is patient, extremely helpful and provides lots of different resources to help you learn including textbooks, podcasts and her Instagram page full of tips/advice. She has also been very flexible with lessons needing to be moved around occasionally/last minute.

UKA wonderful experience
I initially signed up for Greek lessons with Filisia as a way to learn some basic Greek before traveling. But after starting, I enjoyed our lessons so much so that I decided to continue even after leaving Greece. Filisia has great energy during our lessons and has catered to my learning style from the beginning. I am continually impressed and look forward to learning more from her! All in all, a wonderful experience.
