The Field Trip
Climb through Greece, from mountain to sea
The Greek Traverse begins in the sandstone towers of Meteora and ends in the limestone walls and fishing harbors of Leonidio. In between: mountain villages, the road south along the coast, shared tables, and some of the most distinct climbing terrain in Europe.
This is a week built around a simple idea. The best way to know a place is to move through it slowly and connect with the people who live there.
