We invite you to join alumnae, family and friends of Brown University on a unique
program exploring Cyprus, a beautiful and fascinating island-nation studded with
ancient olive trees, terraced vineyards, pristine mountainous terrain and stunning Mediterranean coastlines.

Considered a stepping-stone between Europe, Asia and Africa and long coveted by a succession of world powers, Cyprus’ 10,000-year history reveals itself in Neolithic-era archaeological sites, extensive Roman ruins, imposing Crusader castles and ornate Byzantine churches and monasteries. Our in-depth program explores this legendary
birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, with visits to Salamis, Nicosia and through the Troodos Mountains
to Limassol.

We are delighted to be collaborating with Brown on this program. Since the departure for
this trip is near, we encourage you to make your reservations today.
