Description: Greece and Italy are two amazing countries begging to be explored, who share ancient ties across long spans of history. Join us this summer to discover the wonder of these two Mediterranean lands and explore Greek, Ionian, and Italian ways of life!

We begin in Athens, an international hub and thriving modern city that was once the capital of the Classical world. Well sift through the layers of over three millennia as we climb the Acropolis and explore the Ancient Agora. Cook and Dance like a Greek with your cool counselors, shop along the busy city streets, and marvel at the changes that the course of the years has made on this ancient civilization.

Then its off to the Ionian Islands, some of the most spectacular seaside destinations in all of Europe! Well spend our time here sailing between the islands, mountain biking, windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sea kayaking and hiking to secret waterfalls and swimming at the most beautiful beaches youve ever seen.

Rome, capital of modern-day Italy and ancient capital of the Roman Empire, is a ferry ride away. This buzzing city is filled with fashion, food, culture and stunning sights around every corner. Well gaze at Michelangelos Sistine Chapel ceiling at the Vatican Museums, visit the Roman Forum and Coliseum, and visit St. Peters Tomb. Outside Rome, well also visit Pompeii, an ancient Roman city perfectly preserved when it was suddenly buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Our exceptional staff is deeply familiar with both Greece and Italy. Come with us on an adventure filled with safe and amazing options!

Travel For Teens's Mission Statement: Travel for Teens believes that teen travel should be both fun and enriching. Our programs feature choice in what you do, see, and experience, a dynamic that sets us apart from superficial tours that herd large groups from one site to another. We visit the best of the mainstream attractions while offering the opportunity to explore the culture from a less touristy perspective. We interact with our host cultures, taking cooking and dance lessons, performing valuable service work to help local communities, and conversing with the people who have spent their lives living in the places we journey to. We have crafted our unique programs to engender love for travel, hunger for learning, curiosity about differences, appreciation of similarities across cultures, and an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.
