National Geographic chooses Alexander the Great tour as one of the world’s ‘Top Ten Learning Retreats’
National Geographic Traveler magazine has rated our In the footsteps of Alexander the Great tour one of the world’s ‘Top Ten Learning Retreats’. The selection was shortlisted from The 100 Best Worldwide Vacations to Enrich Your Life by Pam Grout, published by National Geographic. Here’s an extract:
“Peter Sommer, a British archaeologist who in 1994 retraced Alexander’s march from Troy to the battlefield of Issus, may very well be one of the world’s best messengers in telling the great man’s story. Two years after Sommer’s epic reenactment (without the pillaging and town besieging, of course), he started a travel company to lead archeology tours to the country he had fallen head over heels for and he has now been doing it for more than ten years.
Once a year, he leads (yes, he personally escorts it himself) a 19-day “In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great” trek across Turkey’s Anatolia covering the first leg of the great leader’s extraordinary 22,000-mile (35,406-kilometer) journey.”
