Travel Through Turkey with Oakton
Discover Turkey's historical and religious pedigree on a study/travel trip offered by Oakton Community College. Two trips are scheduled for 2004: June 26 - July 10 and Sept. 18 - Oct. 2.
Begin in Istanbul, the "bridge" between Europe and Asia. Visit the ancient villas, palaces, and fortresses along the Turkey shoreline, and enjoy a special presentation on "Ottoman History." Journey to Ankara, for more than 80 years the capital of modern Turkey, and view the Anatolian Civilizations and the Mausoleum of Ataturk.
In Cappadocia, visit rock-carved churches and the underground city of Derinkuyu. Travel to the holy city of Konya and visit the shrine of Mevlana. At Ephesus, one of Turkey's most important ancient cities, see the Basilica of St. John and the house of the Virgin Mary. The trip concludes in Canakkale and the legendary Troy, site of the tragedy of Paris and Helen.
The trip includes cultural interaction and captivating educational lectures. For more information and complete itineraries, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
