It’s doubtful that any other region of the world has witnessed as many history-changing events as the land of Turkey. Straddling the isthmus between Asia and Europe, it has seen the rise and fall of multiple empires whose armies have marched back and forth across its well-trafficked soil. The Hittites, first to gain advantage through the use of iron; the Persian onslaught of Classical Greece under Xerxes and Darius; Alexander the Great and the explosion of Hellenistic culture; the Roman era with its Pax Romano and spread of Christianity; the Byzantine Empire during the golden age of Constantinople; the sordid chapter of the Crusades; and finally, the glory of the Ottoman Empire — all were strongly connected to the country we now call Turkey.

Our exploration of the fabled land of Greece traverses the chronology of Western Civilization, bringing to life the legends of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and giving context to Greek mythology and history. We start at King Minos’ Palace of Knossis on the Aegean island of Crete; take in some of the world’s most stupendous vistas from the rim of Santorini’s sea-filled caldera; continue to Mycenae, where Agamemnon marshaled Greek armies for the Trojan War; and finish in Athens, pinnacle of Classical Greece.
