Philip II, King of Macedon and father of Alexander the Great had originally planned the conquest of Asia. A small expedition had already crossed the Dardanelle when Philip was assassinated in 336 BCE. Having secured his kingdom Alexander began his own preparations for the invasion of Asia. In the spring of 334, he crossed the Dardanelle and set out on what is possibly the greatest military expedition in history.
This tour will spend 16 days looking in great detail at Alexander's campaigns in Turkey.
