Plovdiv and other smaller sites. Two nights will be spent along the Danube
River and two nights will be spent on the Black Sea. We will arrive in the

Sintica. The excavation Team will reside in a hotel in Petrich during the
3-week excavation season. Archaeological work is conducted Monday-Friday
with additional excursions to northern Greece and Republic of Macedonia on
Saturdays. The Team will be accompanied back to Sofia on June 30, where
they will stay one night, departing from Sofia on July 1.
