Greece: Crossroad of Empires
May 14-29, 2024
Led by Professors Adam Porter and Nancy Taylor-Porter
Greece has always been a connector between Europe and Asia, a territory that European and Asian Empires have fought over for thousands of years. We will explore this dynamic while visiting Athens, Delphi (where priestesses received oracles from the gods), Olympia (the site of the original Olympic Games), Crete, and Santorini. We will visit ancient temples and marketplaces, theaters and stadiums. Greek cuisine has also been shaped by its location, which will give us pause for reflection as we dine on the country’s excellent food. Finally, we will get to marvel at some of the most dramatic and characteristic “Greek” landscapes as we visit the island of Santorini.
