I'm going to Greece?!



Hey guys! Sorry it's been awhile since my last blog post, I've been busy with work and I just started college again.

Speaking of college, I have some interesting news! If you can't tell by the title, I have the chance to go to one of my dream places in the world .I'm making this blog to inform you about an International Education program offered at my college; SUNY Adirondack. This coming May, the Anthropology classes(along with students from different majors) are taking a trip to Greece. This trip is for 2 weeks in May and will count as a credit for college. As of now I don't have a lot of information due to the fact college just started. I do know the main reason we're going is to "visit the heartland of art, science, anthropology, archaeology, and the humanities."(got this off the poster I was given) In this group i'll keep everyone updates and different fundraisers I'll be doing until the end of April.Feel free to share this blog/any events.

Below I have the widget that you're able to donate at. I'll keep everyone updated about different events that I hold and how much I've made.

What I'm Doing in Greece 7-9

Day 07: 26 May PYLOS Half day Sfaktiria Island Boat Trip. Archaeological Museum This morning we rise early and transfer to the wharf and at 08h00 board our private chartered boat (exclusive to our group) for our half day boat tour to Sfaktiria Island. Between 1821 and 1832 CE, the Greeks fought a war of independence against the occupying Ottoman Turks. On 20 th October, 1827 CE a naval battle was fought in the bay at Pylos. The Battle of Navarino was fought by the Greeks and their allies; Britain, France and Russia, against the Ottoman Turks. This was a decisive defeat for the Ottoman and Egyptian forces, and a pivotal victory for the Greeks, who’s success at Navarino led to eventual Greek independence. The Battle of Navarino was the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships, although most ships fought whilst at anchor. The Allies' victory was achieved through superior firepower and gunnery. The involvement of the English and French was pr...

What I'm Doing in Greece. 4-6

Day 04: 23 May NAUPLIA Drive Nauplia via Corinth, Mycenae and Epidaurus Theatre This morning after breakfast we depart and dive to Nauplia via visits to Corinth, Mycenae and the Epidaurus Theatre . We first drive to ancient Corinth for a brief visit. During the 6 th century BCE, Corinth was one of the three major powers in Greece and took part in all the battles against the Persians. That Corinth was one of the richest Greek cities is made evident by the extensive remains, including the huge Agora (market place) and the Apollo Temple , which we visit. We then continue to Mycenae . The Citadel of Mycenae occupies the triangular summit of a low hill between two gorges. The Mycenaeans excelled in a style of building using large, unworked stones. These massive fortifications were begun in the 14 th century BCE, followed by Tiryns and Dendra, Argos and Athens, as well as a host of subsidiary forts and, eventually, a huge wall across the Corinthian Isthmus. The famous Lion Ga...
