Itinerary
Please note, all Itineraries are heavy on walking.
I want to emphasize that this is an educational trip. There's going to be an intense focus on topography, epigraphy, history, art history, and architecture. We're doing a lot of walking. Make sure you have comfortable shoes, and something appropriate to enter the churches, which have dress codes (No jeans and no cutoffs; I'll send out a packing list later).
COST: I'm looking at approximately $2,500, subject to change. Most of the sites are either gratis or have minimal entrance fees. You pay for your lunch, incidentals and gifts. The trip covers your airfare (I have got a group quote from Delta), accomodations and museum entrances, as well as your 7-day public transport subway-bus-tram ticket. The cost also includes an evening group meal. The hotel B&B should provide a Continental Breakfast.
