Byzantine Journey to Greece    June 24 to July 1, 2015

This journey of iconographers to Greece is led by John Fotopoulos, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at St. Mary's College (Notre Dame, IN) and Master Iconographer Phil Zimmerman. Our understanding of iconography demands knowledge of Byzantine design and theological canons. We visit monasteries, museums and holy places throughout Byzantine Greece. 

The trip begins in Thessaloniki and wends its way south through Attica, over to the island of Kefalonia, down into the Peloponnese through Mystras, and and then north to Athens with a day trip to the island of Aegina. Please join me!

Click on the "Roumeli" tab above to follow the journey. New pages will appear periodically.

Clicking on the map takes you to our itinerary in Google Maps, where you can zoom in, look at earth views and street views, and even find the places we landed.
