In the 8th grade of Gymnasium, the subject of Geology - Geography focuses on the study of Europe and Greece, while the curriculum is developed in four major teaching units. Europe is a region where the interaction between the natural environment and humans is very intense and characteristic. This continent is now the broader environment of Greek students, who should know very well its distinctive human-geographical features. The planned teaching units are the following:

Maps: Includes the application of knowledge and skills in the study of Europe, investigating the relative location of places, the division of maps, and their application in studying and solving hypothetical problems (for example in project planning).

The natural environment of Europe: Developed with the same logic described in the previous grade of Gymnasium and includes the study of characteristics, depending on the country.

The inhabitants of Europe: Examines the population of Europe, its evolution over time, its geographical distribution, the political division of the continent, the major cities and their geographical distribution, as well as the geographical distribution of languages and religions. Where considered necessary, the lesson concludes with the examination of the specific characteristic within the Greek area (for example, population, cities, and administrative division of Greece). The unit closes with the study of the Balkan countries, which constitute the immediate surrounding area of Greece.

The economic activities of Europeans: This unit includes limited variety and extent of information on the development of various production sectors in the European area. The focus of the unit is not on listing products and quantities, but on the factors that determine the development of various economic activities. In Primary school, students became familiar with the Earth's surface shape and its division into countries, studying the world in increasingly wider regions from local to global. They also learned to record data and represent it with appropriate symbols. In Gymnasium, these knowledge and skills should be supplemented and expanded.
