Three-quarters of Greece is mountainous, and only one fifth of the land can be
cultivated. The olive and the vine have long flourished in Greece and it has
been said that the Greeks spread in the end as far afield as the olive will
grow, and the Romans as far afield as the vine.

The land of Homer, Socrates, St. Paul,
and Alexander, Greece offers experiences rich in mythology, history, archaeology, art, philosophy, and literature. Spend your summer discovering two millennia of ancient treasures starting with the
Early Bronze Age and ending in the Byzantine period.
You'll have the full range of resources available to you including musuems, archaeological sites, and historical
collections as you spend your first three weeks in Athens, and your remaining three weeks traveling to the Peloponnese, Macedonia, and Crete.
There's no better way to explore the range of diverse cultural and geographic areas of this amazing country.
A member of the European Union, Greece stretches from the tip of the Balkan Peninsula into the heart of the
Mediterranean. A thoroughly modern and dynamic country, Greece offers a unique juxtaposition of ancient remains and
emerging economic strength. You'll see Athens, the ancient and modern capital; the Peloponnese, home of both great natural and
industrial resources, as well as Olympia, Sparta, and Mycenae; Macedonia, where the Greek Balkan culture is most vividly expressed; and
the idiosyncratic island of Crete, deep in the Aegean Sea and home to the Minoans. In each location, you'll live in shared rooms with kitchens.
