2 Whispers of the dawning of Western civilization lurk everywhere amid the ruins of Greece. As we visit these sites in the company of our popular faculty leader, Marsh McCall, you ll listen to the words of both legendary and real heroes of ancient Greece as Professor McCall reads from age-old classics that tell the stories of King Leonidas at Thermopylae, the Theban general Epaminondas at Messini and King Agamemnon at Mycenae. After exploring Athens, we head to many of Greece s most iconic sites, from Delphi and the monasteries of Meteora to Olympia and Marathon.

What to expect We consider this to be a moderately strenuous program that is at times physically demanding and busy. Participants must be physically fit, active and in good health. Daily excursions involve one to three miles of walking with tours lasting as long as four hours. Much of the walking takes place at ancient sites covering a large area, where paths can be rocky and uneven. In some instances, such as ruins, stairs do not have handrails. Many buildings do not have elevators, and some sites and museums do not allow buses to pull up in front, thus requiring a walk of several minutes to reach the entrance. We welcome travelers 15 years of age and older on this program.

7 Faculty Leader Marsh McCall made the trip come to life. His passion is infectious! G r e t c h e n, 6 7, A N D R i c h a r d, 6 8, G r a n t, Mediterranean College 2011 Classics professor MARSH MCCALL decided he would become a teacher when he was in the third grade and went on to fulfill that desire, introducing legions of university students to the study of classics during a decades-long professorship at Stanford. Long one of Travel/Study s most popular faculty leaders, Professor McCall has enchanted several thousands of participants on over 35 Travel/Study programs with his lectures and on-site readings of classical authors. As Professor McCall says, What makes the trips so intensely rewarding is being able to stand on-site and read in translation some of the passages from the great works of antiquity that are connected to that location. Stanford professor of classics since 1976 At Stanford: former chair, classics department; associate dean, undergraduate studies; chair, Western culture program committee; and dean, Continuing Studies Recipient of the Dinkelspiel Award for outstanding service to undergraduate education, the Lyman Award for faculty volunteer service and the Phi Beta Kappa Teacher of the Year Award PhD, classics, Harvard University S T A N F O R D T R A V E L / S T U D Y Reservation Form Insider s Greece SIGN UP ONLINE!
