Tour overview

Step into the past on a remarkable odyssey that traces the footsteps of St. Paul through the heart of Turkey, blending ancient history with spiritual heritage. This 15-day adventure will take you from the modern pulse of Ankara to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, where rock-hewn churches and underground cities tell stories of early Christian refuge. As you journey through ancient cities like Antioch, Tarsus, and Ephesus, you'll walk in the very paths once trod by St. Paul and his disciples, visiting the sites where the first Christians gathered. Alongside the biblical narrative, explore the ruins of classical civilizations in cities such as Perge and Aspendos, and be awed by the natural beauty of Pamukkale's thermal springs and the otherworldly terrain of Cappadocia. Your journey culminates in Istanbul, where the East and West converge in a tapestry of culture, history, and architectural grandeur. This tour isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey through time, faith, and wonder.
