Students will deliver an oral report , which may concern a particular site, custom, or social phenomenon. Careful attention will also be given to the methods by which archaeological, literary, and other evidence can be combined and interpreted to form a picture of an ancient culture. By the end of the program students will have visited the National Museum in Athens and most of the other important museums and sites in southern Greece. Due to unscheduled closings, it will not always be possible to adhere to the schedule below. The instructor will do everything possible to see that the students visit all the sites listed or ones of equal value.
Many afternoons are free and beaches abound.
We visit the sites in a private coach driven by our own permanent driver, who stays with it during the day and secures it at night. The coach is airconditioned, equipped with a tape deck and microphone, and seats over 35, so there is room for naps and personal possessions. We shall reserve comfortable but not luxurious quarters in B-Class hotels. All other meals, including all lunches, are the responsibility of the student. Students who fly from New York to Athens on the group flight will be met at the airport and taken to the hotel by coach.
