NIC's Crete Field School is an amazing 28-day trip where students study artifacts and learn about ancient Minoan culture while visiting archaeological sites including palaces, villages, cemeteries and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The first leg of the trip was in the city of Chania, then 10 days in the town of beautiful Archanes and now on the last week of their adventure in Ierapetra. The students do course work and lectures in the morning and then set out for afternoon field trips to gain practical hands-on knowledge.
