Partial list of the ANCIENT & HISTORIC sites on our trips
​
The following is a partial list of the many sites that will be seen on the trip. Many sites are a blend of Renaissance, Biblical, and ancient Greek or Roman history.
​
Bold text - of a site indicates indepth site analysis, usually with a Socratic discussion
Plain text - indicates it is something you will see and learn about, but not necessarily engage in a Socratic discussion.
​
There are many more sites you will see, however, each trip is much more than a sightseeing trip of historical sites. High priority is placed on having lots of fun, new adventures, and phenomenal experiences that you will never forget.
​
Goal: combine the best of both worlds . . . historical academia and quality cross-cultural experiences.
