Overview


Destinations:

Walk in the footsteps of philosophers, warriors, and visionaries as you move through the storied landscapes of Greece—from the marble temples of Athens to the cliff-perched monasteries of Meteora, the sacred grounds of Delphi to the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Each day offers meaningful engagement with the country’s enduring legacy, shaped by the ideas, achievements, and dramatic histories that have influenced Western thought for millennia. Guided by scholars and local experts, the past is brought into sharp focus through thoughtful interpretation and context.

Beyond the major landmarks, the program creates space for connection—with Greece’s vibrant contemporary culture, with its regional cuisine and traditions, and with the people who carry forward its timeless spirit. In mountain villages and harborside towns, candid conversations and shared meals offer insight into daily life and local perspectives. Artistic demonstrations and hands-on workshops add texture and immediacy to the experience, grounding historical knowledge in lived practice.

The final days are spent on the Ionian island of Zakynthos, where the turquoise coastline, Venetian architecture, and gentle rhythm of life provide a fitting close. Time by the sea offers a graceful transition from the intensity of Greece’s historical narrative to its enduring beauty in the present.
