Wednesday

Starting the day we went to  5th Peiramatiko Lykio   Panepistimiou Kritis. We were given a school tour and got to know the school system. After that, we went to the Rethymno's town hall, where we had the rehearsal of the simulation of the European parliament. Afterwards, they took us to monastery of Arkadi and to ancient Eleutherna, where we watched a film about ancient Greece. Folowing that, we ate at a local traditional tavern. In the evening, after two hours of rest, we ate sushi all together and had great fun.

At the end were the best speaker and the best diplomate chosen. Mr. Gaganis was the best speaker wi...
