On this epic adventure, students will travel back in time to the ancient world by seeing the Acropolis in Athens and the temple to Apollo at the Oracle at Delphi. We will climb the floating monasteries of Meteora and walk the battleground of the Spartans at Thermopylae.

Tour five different countries in a whirlwind journey of the best of Central Europe off the beaten path. Learn about the complex history of the 20th century in Berlin, where the communist architecture of the East stands in stark contrast to that of the West, then stop at the charming German city of Dresden on the way to Prague, a fairytale city of red roofs, spires, and Gothic architecture. In Poland, we will explore Krakow, one of the best-preserved cities in the country, before paying a visit to the concentration camp of Auschwitz.
