To quote PST’s
own tantalizing words from Facebook:
'... a tour ideal
either for the first-time visitor to Macedonia, or as a profound deepening
of the experience, revelatory even for
those who have travelled there before. Meticulous attention has gone into every
detail: superb accommodation in selected characterful locations, fascinating in
their own right; excellent meals that reflect the full spectrum of the local
tradition, wine-tastings highlighting this ancient product of the area, and a
succession of site visits offering insights into the breadth of the region’s
culture and history, eagerly brought to you by our trademark team of expert
guides.’
For me, Macedonia is
all about Alexander and his legacy, of course. I marvel at how many historical markers
PST's tour has included, all set in this wonderful landscape where we can breathe the
same air Alexander did so many centuries ago.
Back in 2007, I had the
immense pleasure of following Alexander's conquest
of the Persian-occupied cities in what is now Turkey with
Peter Sommer, based on his own memorable walk from Istanbul to
the Syrian border. Sadly, that tour, In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, no longer exists. It was an unforgettable three-week experience that led me to
look at Alexander's world
from his point of view, which I still do today. I would expect this Macedonia Tour to have the same impact on the visitors.
