“One of my favorite things about the Greece Study Tour is that Greece is kind of the original site of East meeting West. You get to visit the origins of a lot of Western culture and philosophy while still seeing a great deal of Eastern influence in the art and history of the different locations. From an American perspective, it’s also really interesting to go from a country that has few historical sites that are directly related to Western Civilization and are older than a few hundred years to a country that is full of literally ancient ruins that are directly connected to the origins of Western civilization.” — Steve B., 2012
