Itinerary
Walk where the early church walked. This 10-day journey through Turkey traces all seven churches of Revelation — from faithful Smyrna to lukewarm Laodicea — beginning in Istanbul, where you’ll stand beneath the domes of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, wander the Grand Bazaar, and cruise the Bosphorus between two continents. From there we head to the Aegean coast to explore the ruins of Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, and Philadelphia, soak in the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale beside ancient Hierapolis, and walk the marble streets of Ephesus, including its remarkable Terrace Houses and the Basilica of St. John. Extend your trip with an optional Greek Isle cruise to Patmos — the island where John received the Revelation — plus Rhodes, Crete, and Santorini, and an optional two nights in Athens with the Acropolis, Mars Hill, and Corinth. Every day includes guided touring and meals, with an experienced team handling the details so you can focus on the rich biblical landscape of faith before you.
