We will witness the massive scale of the famous Acropolis on the Parthenon first-hand. A ferry-ride takes us to the island of Santorini, where the spectacular homes built along the cliff-sides are only one of the many endearing qualities of this island. Impressive legacies of ancient civilization are represented through archaeological treasures, such as the well-known marble Cycladic figurines. Experience the coastal splendor that is Crete, or the ancient allure of Rhodes as we venture throughout these islands. Once we’ve had our fill of the majestic Aegean Sea, it’s off to Turkey, where a rich history is illustrated through the ancient castles scattered throughout the forested countryside. The current capital, Ankara, and the ancient capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, Istanbul, are both sprawling metropolises that offer hours of exploration and shopping.
