An excellent way to view and learn about byzantine art, architecture, and icons, is to participate in an organized group tour. Several of them take place every year to different countries, including Greece, Russia and Constantinople / Turkey. Organized by various operators, the tours mostly take from 10 days to 3 weeks. Here are some examples:
