Globe Tours logo
In ancient times Greeks inhabited the coast of Asia Minor, an area known as Ionia. Ionia was the birthplace of Greek literature, science, philosophy, architecture, city planning, and culture generally. Our logo is an Ionic column, taken from a woodcut of a column on the Erechtheion at Athens. The column symbolizes the learning, grace, and culture of ancient Greece. 

Globe Tours motto
The Greek inscription says, "Foreign travel is the best education." This was a sentiment well known by Greeks from Homer on. Odysseus, that clever and resourceful hero, was a "man of many turns," in large part because "he had seen the cities of many men, and knew their minds." Our director also believes that seeing new people, places, and things is the best education. He wrote the inscription.
