Rustic Pathways

Rustic Pathways offers teen adventure travel around the world. With the Rustic Pathways philosophy, every teen can have life-altering vacations that teach more about the world we live in through cultural immersion.

This intentional adventure group offers two summer programs in Greece for teens ages 14-18, one of which includes time in northern Italy. The Greece: Island Turtle Conservation and the Italy & Greece: Cultural Immersion and Turtles are the two you can choose from.

During the 2-week Greek program, teens enjoy summer on the Ionian Greek Islands and beaches while engaging in turtle conservation. The schedule includes hours of community service, such as protecting turtle nests and habitats. There's also plenty of time for having fun with newfound friends while hiking the area or swimming in the aquamarine-blue waters.

The Italy-Greece program starts with cultural experiences in northern Italy while learning about Italian history, touring ancient sites, sampling local food, and more. The latter part of the program takes the students to Greece, where they engage in marine conservation to protect local sea turtles.
