Sailing the Aegean and through the tides of history:<br />
Istanbul – Piraeus (Athens)<br />
Pergamon and Mycenae<br />
In ancient times the extensive archaeological site of<br />
Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was one of the<br />
most influential Greek cities. The palace section was surrounded<br />
by a gigantic wall; even now you still have to<br />
enter through the famous Lion Gate. Pergamon was just<br />
as important. For many centuries the town was a wealthy<br />
and important centre for the arts. Several rows of pillars,<br />
altars and a sloping theatre still remain.<br />
The Jerusalem of the Aegean: Patmos<br />
The idyllic island of Patmos is believed to be the place<br />
where John the Evangelist wrote the Book of Revelation.<br />
The grotto where he is said to have had his apocalyptic<br />
visions is one of the holiest sites for followers of the Greek<br />
Orthodox Church. The monastery built in his name has<br />
been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />
Charming little harbour towns<br />
Nauplion’s old town lies in a picture-perfect setting on<br />
a peninsula and can be easily explored without a guide.<br />
Three forts built in the Venetian era still stand guard over<br />
this pretty town which was the site of the first meeting<br />
of the Greek parliament in 1825. A trip to the cliff-side<br />
village of Monemvasia will take you back in time to the<br />
romantic Middle Ages. Behind protective walls you will<br />
discover the picturesque lower town with its narrow<br />
streets – the perfect place to get lost.<br />
A lecturer accompanies the trip<br />
With exciting topics, background information and fascinating<br />
facts, our expert offers talks on a whole range of<br />
subjects from his specialist field.<br />
