Travel Opportunities - Greece

 


See the Erechtheum on the ancient Acropolis in Athens in Spring 2006!

Greek Legacy Field Studies

Greek Legacy Field Studies is a complement to a multi-disciplinary course on the Legacy of Ancient Greece. This spring break trip is designed to introduce students to the art, archeology and culture of Greece. We start our trip in Athens, where we explore the majestic Athenian Acropolis, the mazes of the Old Town Plaka, and view the riches of the great museums in Athens. We will also visit Cape Sounion with its magnificent temple ruins perched on a mountain top. We then proceed overland to Corinth, the city of Medea and the site of Paul's Letters to the Corinthians; the charming city of Nauphlion, the thrilling remains of the Bronze Age culture of Mycenae. By ferry we then travel to the sanctuary of the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi and then to the islands of Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, and Delos.
