Trip Overview
This trip is organized in cooperation with the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies.
Travel back through time to ancient Greece on this annual favorite featuring Professor Greg Nagy.

What to Expect
You should be in overall good health and able to walk up to three miles over the course of a day and stand for periods of time in museums, at historic sites and in crowded areas—often in the heat of the day. Some sites require hiking up hills and walking on uneven/slippery/dirty services and are not appropriate for people who have difficulty walking unassisted for long periods without breaks. There will be two travel days with long drives (over five hours) and the drive to Arachova includes very winding roads. Most days have one to three hours of free time. Temperatures in March are generally in the 60s °F during the day and 40s °F in the evenings but can on occasion be much warmer or cooler. This is the tail end of the rainy season so some wet weather should be expected.
