Philip II, King of Macedon and father of Alexander the Great, originally planned the conquest of Asia. A small expedition had already crossed the Dardanelles when Philip was assassinated in 336 b.c. Succeeding his father and having secured his kingdom, Alexander began his own preparations for the invasion of Asia. In the spring of 334, he crossed the Dardanelles and set out on what is possibly the greatest military expedition in history.

Peten Travels takes its visitors on a specially-designed tour that travels in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, following his spectacular feats from his entry into Anatolia through his trek across Anatolia. The tour will be accompanied by an expert in the field and will be augmented, when possible, with the input of other specialists.
