In the footsteps of Alexander the great
For more than 2,000 years Alexander the Great has excited the imagination of people around the globe. This tour is a unique opportunity to retrace his footsteps in Turkey, the first leg of his extraordinary 22,000 mile journey. Join this remarkable adventure with Peter Sommer, who in 1994 walked 2,000 miles across Anatolia, from Troy to the battlefield of Issus, retracing Alexander's route. When he invaded Asia in 334 BC, Alexander single-handedly changed the face of the world on a scale never surpassed. By the time of his death at the age of 32, he had gone beyond the limits of the world known by the Greeks, carving out an empire that stretched from Greece to Afghanistan, Egypt to India. On this epic archaeological voyage, we'll discover the history and architecture of the cities on his route: Troy, where Alexander ran naked around Achilles' tomb; Ephesus, one of the best preserved classical cities in the world; and Termessus, a rocky eyrie that said 'no' to Alexander and got away with it.
