Makes one want to travel not only to Greece, but all the islands
Excellent speaker, very organized and informative. Highly recommend Dimita for other seminars!
Dimitra Pilarinou’s presentations are always excellent, very well-prepared and enthusiastic, and this was no exception. Chock full of lots of maps and photographs. Diverse presentation of geography, extensive history and art, local cuisine and some useful information for visiting. Even numerous referrals to movies set on some of the islands. Covering 10 diverse Greek islands with millennia of history in one session is very ambitious. If anything, the presentation was too fast-paced and filled with information, which made it challenging to absorb, and impossible to take complete notes. I will look forward to watching the recording, once or twice.
Loved the details provided for this course. So much to see and Dimitra sifted among the choices to provide students enough information for them to make informed choices about visiting the islands. She was honest in her assessments and that made the lecture more credible. Finally she was open, friendly and welcoming to questions. This approach gave individuals more impetus to ask questions they might be shy about asking. Conversations matter. Kudos to Dimitra for her scholarship, intelligence, and friendly manner. 💜
Very much enjoyed Dimitra’s presentation. She was knowledgeable, well organized and interesting.
