Travel Adventure “Voyages to Antiquity” Ancient Isles of the Mediterranean
Join Judy and Hugh Tilson, Anne Scaff, and Ray Williams to re-visit some of their wonderful experiences on a October/November 2018 Road Scholar cruise on the Aegean Od- yssey. The odyssey took them from Athens, Greece to Malaga, Spain, with memorable stops in Santorini, Heraklion and Chania, Crete, Malta, three ports of call in Sicily, and ending in Malaga, Spain with a three-day land extension to the Alhambra and Ma- drid. The beautifully preserved temple at Segesta (shown at right) ought to give you an idea of some of the wonders of this trip. But of course, the travelers will plan to bring you up to date a bit about the state of the politics, economies and some of the national dishes along the way.
