As part of Sheffield University's
Alumni Travel Programme, IMA has organised a private
cruise in Aegean Turkey. The focus of the cruise will
be the Classical sites which enrich Asia Minor’s
beautiful shores, studying the archaeology and history
of this cultural hinge of the ancient world.
The Romance of Ruins
Great figures from the past like Herodotus, Mausolus,
Alexander, Lysimachus, Trajan, Hadrian and many others
haunt the columned splendour of these Graeco-Roman cities.
Ephesus, Miletus, Halicarnassus and Knidos were all
built on the wealth of maritime trade. What more suitable
way to appreciate their classical story than visiting
them by sea?
Sail the Aegean in private comfort
We have our own classic yachts for our journey. Built
in Halicarnassus to a Byzantine design, they are fitted
with all modern conveniences – private bathrooms
with each double or twin cabin; our own personal chefs
to prepare the excellent Turkish cuisine; our own stewards
to wait on our every need. It’s a perfect way
to relax, to learn together and to absorb the ambience
of that greatness of the past.
Accompanying Sheffield Scholar
Paul Halstead has a BA and PhD in Archaeology from
Cambridge and has taught archaeology at Sheffield since
1984. The author of over 100 papers and editor of five
books, his principal research interests are Aegean prehistory
and Mediterranean farming and landscape.
