C R E T E , G R E EC E
Combines Ancient Mediterranean Treasures and
Journey to Antiquities. Walk in the footsteps of
philosophers, artists, and emperors as you explore the
cultural heart of Italy, Greece and Turkey. East meets West
beneath the domes of Hagia Sophia and the minarets of
the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Myth and archaeology
intertwine in Troy and hear the whisper of emperors and
philosophers on the marble streets of Ephesus. Stand
before the Acropolis in Athens, and ascend the slopes of
Sicily's Mt Etna. In the eternal city, marvel at the
architectural mastery of the Pantheon and stand in awe
beneath Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel dome.
