   The Minoan Civilization was Talented, Cultivated & Extremely Rich

   Athens to Rome - March 19 - April 1, 2012 

This journey to Athens, Crete, Malta and Sicily not only offers you the opportunity to visit some of the greatest sites of antiquity but also to the possibility to enjoy some much needed spring sunshine. The usually good weather points to the importance that climate played in the development of the great classical civilizations: the short, mild winters and long, warm summers created the perfect conditions for these remarkable societies to thrive.
