Daily Itinerary
Day 1 October 8 – Depart USA
Day 2 October 9 – Arrive and overnight in Izmir
Day 3 October 10 – Pergamum and Thyatira
Day 4 October 11 – Sardis, Philadelphia, and Izmir
Visit ancient Sardis, another of the seven churches, where you will be impressed by the massive scale of the Temple of Artemis, the white marble Royal Road, the gymnasium, and the synagogue. Continue to Philadelphia, another of the Seven Churches. Conclude the day in Hierapolis, which is blessed by hot mineral springs and some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in Asia Minor. Paul mentions Hierapolis in his Letter to the Colossians in saluting Epaphras, a fellow laborer. The ruins cover more than a mile, and you will see the City Gates, column-lined streets, and arches, which have stood through time and earthquakes. The Apostle Philip, according to tradition, was martyred here. Stay overnight in the Pamukkale area. (B, D)
Day 5 October 12 – Istanbul
Day 6 October 13 – Istanbul, Türkiye
Day 7 October 14 – Troy and Troas (Canakkale), Turkiye
Day 8 October 15 – Ephesus (Kusadasi), Türkiye
Today, you will be visiting Ephesus, where Paul had a two-year ministry and where the disciple John and Jesus’ mother, Mary, are buried. With a population of more than 250,000, Ephesus was the fourth-largest city in the world. View the Library of Celsus, originally built in 125 AD, which once held nearly 12,000 scrolls. Visit the temples of Hadrian and Domitian and the great theater where Paul witnessed. Visit the terrace houses, which give us great insight into family life during the Roman period.
Day 9 October 16 – Miletus and Didyma (Bodrum), Turkiye
Day 10 October 17 – Santorini, Greece (On Your Own)
Day 11 October 18 – Corinth and Epidaurus (Nafplio), Greece
Visit the seaport town of Nauplion, which was the first capital of modern Greece from 1829 to 1834. See the Venetian fortress of Palamidi as you travel inland to Corinth. The Apostle Paul met fellow tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth and received a vision from the Lord saying, “I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city” (Acts 18:10). As Paul spoke, Crispus (chief ruler of the Synagogue) and many others believed and were baptized (Acts 18:8), establishing the church at Corinth to whom Paul later wrote his two epistles. Tour the city of Corinth and the Museum of Corinth. Couples will have the opportunity to renew their wedding vows. Take the optional hike to the top of Acrocorinth. On your way back to the ship for your final overnight, enjoy a panoramic tour of Athens to see the House of Parliament, the Presidential Palace, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Continue to the ancient city of Epidaurus. The theatre at Epidaurus is the best-preserved example of a classical Greek amphitheater in the Mediterranean. The theatre can hold 14,000 people, and it has been said that you can ‘hear a pin drop’ in the center of the theatre stage from the top row.
Day 12 October 19 – Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Disembark today and enjoy the rich architectural splendor of the ancient city of Athens as your guide introduces you to the world-renowned Acropolis, the Propylaea, the Parthenon, and the Erechtheum. Stand on Mars Hill as the Apostle Paul did when he proclaimed, “I found an altar with the inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, therefore, ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you” (Acts 17:23). As you stroll the agora (ancient marketplace and center of Athenian public life), recall that this was where the Apostle Paul preached “Jesus and the resurrection” to the skeptical Athenians. Enjoy the afternoon and evening on your own to shop, dine, or experience the Acropolis by night. Stay overnight in Athens.
Day 13 October 20 – Return to the USA

Check into your hotel this evening and enjoy dinner and rest (B, D).
