GREECE FROM ANTIQUITY TO BYZANTIUM WITH A SEVEN-NIGHT CRUISE ABOARD THE MS GALILEO

NOVEMBER 3-19, 2019 TOUR LEADER: DR JOHN TIDMARSH

Overview Discover the extraordinary world of ancient and Aegean Bronze-Age Greece, from the sprawling palaces of Minoan Crete and the citadels and monumental tombs of the Mycenaeans, to the incomparable museums of Athens and the emergence of the Byzantines at the end of Antiquity. Get to know the deep history of the cultures that made Greece the cradle of western civilisation on this 17-day tour by land and sea, travelling from Crete to the Peloponnese, Olympia, Delphi and Athens, visiting archaeological sites and museums, and enjoy the dramatic landscapes – mountains, spectacular coastlines and rocky islands – of the Greek world. In Crete we explore the sprawling palace of King Minos at Knossos, home to the legendary Minotaur, along with the lesser known but equally fascinating Minoan palaces of Archanes and Phaestos and the charming town of Chania with its historic links from Minoan, Byzantine and Venetian cultures through to its occupation by the Germans in World War II. In Athens we board the 25 cabin Motor Sailer Galileo for an eight-day cruise circumnavigating the Peloponnese region. Docking in port each day we are able to delve into the most important archaeological and classical sites on mainland Greece at Epidauraus, Mycenae, Venetian Pylos, Ancient Olympia and mystical Delphi. After traversing the spectacular Corinth Canal, we disembark in Athens for our final four days. We explore the Acropolis and the superb Acropolis Museum, walk through the ancient Agora, investigate the finest Greek art and sculpture at the National Archaeological Museum and the collections at the privately owned Benaki Museum and Museum of Cycladic Art.

Your tour leader Dr John Tidmarsh was previously Tutor and then Part-Time Lecturer in Greek and Roman archaeology in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sydney, and is the former President of the Near Eastern Archaeology Foundation. He is a Co-Director of the University of Sydney’s excavations at Pella in Jordan (where he has worked since 1979) and is also Co-Director of the Australian Archaeological Mission at Jebel Khalid in Syria. He was previously Associate Director of the

University of Sydney’s excavations at Paphos, Cyprus, and was also Senior Investigator at the university’s excavations at Torone in Greece. His main areas of interest are the archaeology of Alexander the Great’s conquests, the Hellenistic period in Greece, the Near East and Asia, and the Islamic world. He travels widely in the Middle East, especially in Iran, and has now led approximately 20 tours to that country as well as numerous tours to Oman, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, and Greece.

“I enjoyed the tour very much and John’s insights and breadth of knowledge were very interesting. I enjoyed the small towns we toured, lots of fun.” – Feedback from John’s Greece tour, May 2018.

The MS Galileo

In November 2018 Academy Travel’s London Manager, Grace McLean, travelled on the M/S Galileo around the Peloponnese. We asked Grace about her experience.

How is M/S Galileo different from large cruise ships?

The M/S Galileo can enter the smallest of ports, which means mooring right in centre of towns on the itinerary. Due to its size, the Galileo can also access more unusual experiences such as the medieval town of Monemvasia and pass through the Corinth Canal – impossible in larger vessels. With a small ship such as the Galileo there is no waiting to get on or off, so you have more time to enjoy your onshore visits. And with a maximum of 50 passengers on board, you’ll also get to know your crew and fellow passengers.

What are the cabins like? Is it a luxury cruise? The cabins are small, so passengers are encouraged to minimise their luggage. You won’t find luxury amenities but everything is neat and clean. Each cabin has air-conditioning, a fridge and a compact ensuite bathroom with shower and is serviced twice daily. Most passengers spend their time on deck enjoying the sun and sailing (bring a book!), or onshore exploring the local town.

How is the weather in November?

Although I can’t guarantee it for 2019, the weather was absolutely perfect! Clear and sunny with an average of 20 degrees each day, the water was warm enough for swimming. The evenings were cool and you will need some warm clothes. High winds were predicted for our voyage but the Captain timed our sailing and planned the route to minimise rocking and rolling onboard.

Was the itinerary good for someone interested in history and archaeology? Or was it just scenic sightseeing?

This is an ideal itinerary if you are interested in history and archaeology and you will see some of the most important sites in Greece, particularly from the Bronze Age. Those with an interest in the Byzantine period will enjoy discovering the many forts and churches at each port. You will also experience spectacular scenery of mountains, olive groves and the clear blue waters of the Aegean.

Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the letters B, L and D.

Sunday 3 November Arrive

The tour commences at the hotel in Athens at 6pm. Meet your tour leader and fellow travellers in the lobby of the hotel for an introductions and drinks followed by dinner in the hotel. Overnight Athens (D)

Tuesday 5 November Phaistos and Heraklion Archaeological Museum

A brief stroll from the hotel takes us to the excellent Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, which re-opened in 2014 following a lengthy renovation.

Wednesday 6 November Archanes and Knossos

Just outside of Heraklion is the rustic village of Archanes, a treasure house of heritage-listed neoclassical architecture. Archanes was an important Minoan hub and a likely summer retreat for the Knossos Kings. We visit the delightful Archaeological Museum which houses many significant finds from the region. This afternoon we visit Crete’s most famous site, the Minoan palace complex of Knossos. The area shows occupation from Neolithic times but the first palace was established c. 1900 BC.

complex of administrative, residential, and religious structures that offers an excellent idea of what life in Minoan Crete may have been like. Overnight Heraklion. (B)

Thursday 7 November Rethymno and Souda Bay

This morning we depart for Rethymno and undertake a walking tour of the town which flourished under Venetian rule in the 16th century and where the old quarter retains a rich elegance. Our tour includes the massive Venetian Fort, the Nerantzis Mosque (built originally as a church by the Venetians and now the city’s concert hall), the Great Gate of the town, and the Venetian mansions along Arkadiou Street. We continue to Souda Bay to visit the Allied War Cemetery, where soldiers from the Commonwealth, including many Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives in the Battle of Crete and the First World War, are buried. Our day concludes in Chania, a strategic location that first attracted the Minoans who founded the city state of Kydonia here in the Bronze Age. Since then it has been fought over by Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Genoese, Turks, Egyptians, and finally the German Army in 1941. We explore the layers of history the invaders have left behind including the fortified Venetian harbour and the Mosque of the Janissaries. Overnight Chania. (B)

Today we depart Chania and fly to Athens. Upon arrival we transfer to Marina Zea where we board the MS Galileo, meet the crew and set sail for Epidaurus. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, D)

Saturday 9 November Epidaurus

Today we have an early start as we depart the ship forth the impressive site of Epidaurus, the location of the Asclepeion, one of the most famous healing centres of the Classical world. The sanctuary was raided by the Romans and Goths and little remains of it today. Testament to the prosperity brought by the sanctuary is Epidaurus’ well-preserved 4th century BC theatre with a capacity for 13000 spectators. Still in use today, the theatre is regarded as the best in Greece for its fine structure, symmetry and perfect acoustics. We return to the ship for lunch and set sail for Nafplion. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Sunday 10 November Mycenae

After a short walk through Napflion we visit Mycenae, the seat of Agamemnon who served as leader of the Greek coalition at Troy and a site that gave its name to a whole civilization. We enter through the famous Lion Gate and see the Shaft Graves of Circle A and climb through the site to the crowning Megaron Palace where the Mycenaean king would have held sway over much territory. Blending back into the rocky hills, the ruins of this

ancient powerhouse are in a spectacular location atop the citadel and ringed by well-preserved Cyclopean walls. After lunch back on board we sail to Gythion. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Monday 11 November Mani Peninsula

This morning we visit Ancient Gythion which was used by the Spartans as a port and naval base, after they enlarged the natural harbour. Crossing the Mani Peninsula to Cape Tenaro at the tip of the Peloponnese, we reach Diros and visit the spectacular caves, among the most important natural sites in Greece. We descend into the caves and explore the dramatic stalactite and stalagmite formations by boat. After a stroll through the nearby town of Areopolis we reboard our vessel and head to Pylos. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Tuesday 12 November Palace of Nestor

The seaside town of Pylos is the site of an important in Greek naval history after the Venetian fleet defeated the Ottomans, leading to the independence of Greece in 1829. Located on a scenic hilltop, we visit the Mycenaean period ‘Palace of Nestor’, seat of power for wise king Nestor in Homer’s Iliad. This recently restored site contains one of the best-preserved Mycenaean palaces ever excavated and the small area allows easy interpretation. We continue a short distance to Hora and visit the superb archaeological museum which holds an array of artefacts recovered from the site. This afternoon we sail for Katakolon. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Wednesday 13 November Olympia

Disembarking the ship early this morning we depart Katakolon for the ancient site of Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games and where the Olympic flame is still lit every four years. Home to the Temple of Zeus, one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary at Olympia not only lies in a beautiful and peaceful setting but its largely non-reconstructed remains allow a unique opportunity to visualise how this complex would have looked during its heyday. Also within the sanctuary is the ancient Temple of Hera, while just outside the precinct are the gymnasium and well-preserved stadium. The archaeological museum is a treasure trove of artefacts excavated from the sacred precinct including superb architectural sculptures from the Temple of Zeus itself. We reboard the ship at Patras and depart for Itea in the Gulf of Corinth. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Thursday 14 November Delphi

site, home to the most important oracle of the ancient world whose influence on rulers and the ruled alike was profound. Political decisions were made and colonies around the Mediterranean were founded only after consultation with the Oracle. We examine the site, exploring the Temple of Apollo, treasuries, theatre and stadium. The adjoining Archaeological Museum houses a collection of treasures including the marble Sphinx of Naxos and the marvellous Charioteer, one of the finest extant bronze statues from the classical world. Returning to the ship, we traverse the Corinth Canal and sail to Marina Zea outside of Athens. Overnight aboard MS Galileo (B, L, D)

Friday 15 November Disembark – Dafni

This morning after breakfast, we say farewell to the Variety Voyager. On our way to Athens we stop at the eleventh-century Byzantine Monastery at Dafni. Founded in the sixth-century on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo it has undergone several restorations resulting in the cloisonné style exterior common to Greek Byzantine churches we see today. The interior is laid out in a simple Greek cross-octagon with an important mosaic of Christ the Pantocrator gazing down sternly from his place in the heavens atop the dome. Arriving in Athens, there is a short orientation walk before dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Athens (B, D)

Saturday 16 November Acropolis and Benaki Museum

This morning we explore the Acropolis and its monuments, which form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. The Parthenon, Erechtheion, and the exquisite temple of Athena Nike are the centrepieces of the ancient buildings on the Acropolis and encapsulate both the beauty and achievements of ancient Greek spirit and civilisation. We continue at the Acropolis Museum where artefacts recovered from the site and spanning thousands of years are displayed.

Over 3000 artefacts from the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean cultures dating from the 4th century CE are housed over four levels in two separate buildings. As one of the most important exhibits of Cycladic art in the world, the collection contains austere marble figurines depicting the naked human form that have inspired 20th-century artists such as Brancussi, Modigliani and Moore.
