Climb the Acropolis
As the foundation of our Western civilisation, a trip to Athens is invaluable to all classics students. Study the architectural style of the monuments of Athens, Delphi and the Peloponnese. Climb the Acropolis for panoramic views over Athens and to see the sheer scale of public buildings, especially the Parthenon. Explore the extensive ruins in Agora for a glimpse of daily life in ancient Greece. Or visit Delphi, site of the Oracle of Apollo, which played such a significant role in the classical Greek world.
Our students can tour ancient Corinth to see for themselves the extraordinary engineering feat of building the canal. Or they can study the sports and pastimes of ancient Greeks at the site of the original games of Olympia.

FAQs

Yes, there are many advantages to this. One is that greater numbers sign up which means a lower tour price per student. Another is that a diverse (two-subject) itinerary can broaden the horizons of both ‘groups’ though, of course, we can create separate agendas for each if preferred.
We offer you all the advice and support you require - every step of the way. Rest assured; we organise everything.
We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at school and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have an interactive promotional poster you can put up on walls and noticeboards. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.
