We first visited Greece in 2008 on a land trip. My recollections are it was a wonderful place to visit with a tremendous historical culture. Perhaps it was time to return; but when?  Summers can be brutally hot; autumn would be a more desirable time. Literature from one of our favorite travel organizations, Road Scholar suggested an October visit that included several days in Athens followed by a cruise in a small (49 passenger) yacht that focused on visits to some of the lesser visited Greek islands caught my eye! At our age we are liking the ability to only unpack once ot twice so a cruise seemed perfect. And we always love the educational content that Road Scholar trips provide. Mentioning the trip to several of our neighbors resulted in their desire to join us, so the three couples (Michael & Sheri Flynn, John and Elizabeth Koslezski, the Bishops) are convening in Athens on October 14 for the 1o day Road Scholar trip entitled: “Classical Greece: Islands of the Aegean”.

 

It should be a fun trip and a chance to relearn Greek history!
