G reece’s Peloponnesian Peninsula, in the navy-

blue waters of the Mediterranean, offers alluring

landscapes of fertile plains, ancient olive groves,

and hills of jumbled limestone. From the M/Y Harmony G, an elegant

motor yacht, we ºwill explore the illustrious history and culture of

Greece while observing the region’s special resident and migrant

birds and other aspects of the natural world. We’ll begin with a visit

to the highly regarded Acropolis Museum, and among the sites we’ll

visit are Epidaurus, Mycenae, Nestor’s Palace, Olympia, and Delphi.

With beautiful scenery, visits to timeless archaeological sites and

extraordinary museums, historical interpretation, and cruising along

the dramatic Greek coastline, we are sure to have a rich, rewarding,

and memorable trip.

Joining VENT leaders Victor Emanuel, Barry Lyon, and Rick

Wright for this special departure will be Dr. Larry Wolff, Silver

Professor of European History at New York University and Director

of the NYU Center for European and Mediterranean Studies, who will

deliver a series of presentations on ancient Greek civilization.
