Sussex Archaeology and History

Come with us to Crete next May, when we will explore the rich and varied history of the island, and combine archaeological, historical, cultural and gastronomic adventures. 

We will be based in Heraklion, Aghios Nikolaos and Sitia and will visit not only the major archaeological sites in Eastern Crete, but some of the lesser known ones and also sites not always available to travellers. 

We are delighted to have Dr Don Evely as our expert guide.  Dr Evely is a former British School at Athens (BSA) Knossos Curator and an expert on Minoan archaeology.  The tour manager is Sussex Archaeology and History's Sarah Green, who now lives for part of each year on Crete, and has personally selected the sites we will visit and tavernas where we will enjoy lunch and evening refreshments.  One of our lunches will be at the BSA Research Centre in Knossos, sites of Evan's Villa Ariadne and fondly written about by Dilys Powell in the book of the same name.

Take a look at our flyer, which gives you more information and drop us an email if you want to reserve a place, or require any further details.
