Rated one of
the world’s ‘Top Ten Learning Retreats’, and one
of ‘The 100 Best Worldwide Vacations to Enrich Your Life’
by National Geographic
For more than 2,000
years Alexander the Great has excited the imagination of people
around the globe. This archaeological tour is a unique opportunity
to retrace his footsteps in Turkey, the first leg of his extraordinary
22,000 mile journey.
Join this remarkable
historical adventure with Peter Sommer, who in 1994 walked 2,000
miles across Anatolia, from Troy to the battlefield of Issus,
retracing Alexander the Great’s march. Who better to lead
you on Alexander’s route than someone who has walked the
entire distance!
“Peter was the
ideal person to help produce our In the Footsteps of Alexander
the Great TV series for the BBC/PBS. Our particular style of documentary
making leans heavily on understanding history by following in
its footprints. Peter had worn out 4 pairs of boots doing just
that on Alexander’s trail. Who better to show you how the
conqueror’s story unfolded and how the locations helped mould
the legend.” David Wallace, Director, In the Footsteps of
Alexander the Great
Travelling back through
time we’ll delve into Alexander’s personality and the
lives of the people that inhabited his tumultuous world.
On this epic archaeological
voyage, we’ll discover the history and architecture of the
cities on his route. Troy, where Alexander ran naked around Achilles’
tomb. Ephesus, one of the best preserved classical cities in the
world. Termessus, a rocky eyrie that said ‘no’ to Alexander
the Great and got away with it.
We’ll stroll along
the sacred way to Apollo’s great oracular temple at Didyma,
stand on Alexander’s hill at Sagalassos, from which he launched
a bloody siege, and cruise on a gulet along Lycia’s timeless
coast.
This inspirational
historical tour is a tale of romance, war and power, an amazing
expedition full of unforgettable vistas and historical highlights.
