Dates: September 23 – October 1, 2008

Description: A journey so popular in the past, we are repeating it! Join us on this exceptional week-long voyage across the Aegean Sea, from Turkey's historic coast to the Greek Isles. Discover a region renowned for its distinctive history, stunning beauty and deep-rooted cultures. Stroll through the streets of Ephesus, the most intact Greco-Roman city in the world, and sail in the wake of Achilles, Odysseus and Agamemnon to legendary Troy aboard the exclusively chartered M.S. LE DIAMANT. Explore Greece's fabled islands, including Pátmos, Rhodes, Delos and Santorini, celebrated for their stunning beauty, ancient monuments and picturesque villages. Gain insight into life in the Aegean region during an exclusively arranged Village Forum with local residents, and become informed about the region through educational lectures and a comprehensive series of expert-led excursions. A two-night pre-program option in mystical Istanbul, crossroads of East and West, and a two-night post-program option in the ancient Greek capital of Athens are the perfect additions to a remarkable journey.
