What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Greece?
Greece offers exceptional hospitality and tourism placements in a Mediterranean setting, with 100+ partner companies across the mainland and islands. Concrete reasons institutions choose Greece for KA121 & KA122 Mobility & Internships. KA121 and KA122 are the Erasmus+ actions that fund group mobility for schools, VET providers and adult-education centres. KA121 supports accredited organisations with a multi-year plan; KA122 is the short-term flow for non-accredited senders. Both fund student internships and staff training (including job shadowing). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Greece: we source hosts in hospitality & tourism, business & administration, culture & heritage and tech & startups, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Host sourcing
Coordinators based in Athens, Greece make this concrete for every hospitality & tourism cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Companies in hospitality & tourism, business & administration, culture & heritage matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
In Greece this stage flows through our Athens regional team covering hospitality & tourism hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Greece.
Insurance & liability
Built around Greece's hospitality & tourism host expectations from Athens outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Within Greece's hospitality & tourism network around Athens, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Mapped to how Greece employers in hospitality & tourism — from Athens onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
