Odyssey in Athens is a unique study aboard program hosted by the University of Indianapolis at its Athens Campus. It is designed to afford college students a rich cultural experience in the birthplace of Western civilization while they take accredited, upper-level courses in their chosen fields of study. Odyssey students study alongside Greek and other international students, a feature which distinguishes Odyssey in Athens from other study abroad programs and facilitates the process of cultural integration.

Odyssey in Athens is based in the facilities of the University of Indianapolis,  Athens Campus  in the heart of downtown - footsteps away from the Plaka, the old section of Athens at the base of the Acropolis. Four buildings house classrooms, a student center, library, computer lab, and administrative offices.

With its extraordinary artistic, intellectual and cultural heritage, Athens is richly endowed with resources for formal study and experiential learning. The museums at the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, as well as the National Archeological Museum, the Cycladic Museum, and the Benaki collections are within minutes of the facilities of the University of Indianapolis Athens. Cultural events including concerts, recitals, dance and theatre, as well as international trade shows, conferences and symposia, public lectures, gallery exhibits, sports events and marathons, are an integral part of life in this bustling, cosmopolitan city at the confluence of Europe, Asia and Africa.
