SUMMARY:Türkiye: Ancient Splendors of the Aegean & Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Many of the most magnificent and best-preserved ancient Greek and Roman sites are found along Türkiye’s beautiful Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Visit world-famous\, plus little-visited yet spectacular\, Greco-Roman sites\, Byzantine churches\, Crusader castles\, and Ottoman palaces. Your engaging AIA lecturer/host\, Yaşar Ersoy\, teaches classical art and archaeology and has been doing fieldwork in Türkiye since 1980. Throughout the program he will offer illustrated talks and informal discussions about the sites you are visiting and their places within the larger ancient Mediterranean world. Along the way\, you will enjoy delicious cuisine\, comfortable accommodations\, and the company of a small group of like-minded fellow travelers. An expert tour manager/local guide will handle logistics and smooth the way.\nHighlights:\n• Visit four UNESCO World Heritage Sites:\n1. Historic Areas of Istanbul\, including the 6th-century Byzantine church-turned-mosque of Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace\, the imperial residence of the Ottoman sultans.\n2.

Temple of Apollo\, one of the leading oracles in the ancient world; and the 4th-century B.C. Temple of Athena at Priene\, which became the classical model of Greek city planning.\n3.
