Overview

The “Spring Break in Greece for Students & Alumni” program will return in March 2026, with Harvard professors Naomi Weiss and Gregory Nagy as academic leaders. The itinerary begins in Nafplio and Mycenae, continues with a tour through the Peloponnese, and then moves on to Delphi and Athens.
