Paul landed at Kavala (Neapolis) coming from Troas with Timothy and Silas. This ancient city was renamed Christoupolis because it was the first European city to accept Christianity. At the ruins of ancient Philippi you will see the baptism site, a crypt where Paul may have been imprisoned, the Acropolis, the Market Place, Basilica and the ancient theatre. At the Gangitis River the apostle preached to a group of women. Lydia, a merchant trading purple cloth, believed the Gospel and was baptized with members of her household. We return to Thessaloniki, birthplace of Aristotle, where time permitting we will have a short tour of the city before returning to our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 4 THURSDAY Thessaloniki, Kalambaka This morning we continue on to Vergina with the tombs of the royal dynasty, most notably King Philip II and a young prince who is identified as Alexander IV, the son of Alexander the Great. Continue on to Veria, or Beroea, where Paul found people who eagerly received his message, “examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were true” (Acts 17:11). Continue our drive to Kozani and on to Kalambaka for dinner and overnight. DAY 5 FRIDAY Kalambaka, Delphi This morning we visit Meteora, a cluster of pillars of rock, and the “Hanging Monasteries” perched on top of rock cliffs. There were a series of 24 monasteries constructed upon the spires of stone. Most were abandoned and only 6 survive today, 5 of which are inhabited by monks and 1 by nuns. We continue our drive through the beautiful scenery of Greece. Imagine Paul walking with his followers and teaching them God’s word as they continued down the road. Our bus will take us through Larissa, Lamia and Trikala and on to Delphi for dinner and overnight. DAY 6 SATURDAY Delphi, Athens This morning in Delphi we visit the museum with the famous Bronze Charioteer and other items that date back to the time of Paul. We visit the Temple of Apollo, where Paul must have spoken to the people about the Living God, continue to the Theater, the Athenian Treasury and the Castalian Spring.

Базилику смотрим внешне! «И Ангелу Пергамской церкви напиши: так говорит Имеющий острый с обеих сторон меч: знаю твои дела, и что ты живешь там, где престол сатаны, и что содержишь имя Мое, и не отрекся от веры Моей даже в те дни, в которые у вас, где живет сатана, умерщвлен верный свидетель Мой Антипа» (Откр. 2:12-13). Пергам, древнегреческий город и одна из семи церквей («церкви» в этом контексте относятся к сообществу христиан, живущих в каждом городе, а не только к зданию или зданиям, в которых они собирались для поклонения. Здесь мы исследуем Археологический парк (Большой Пергамский алтарь находится в Пер- гамском музее. Основание этого алтаря остается в верхней части Акрополя. Считается, что он был по- священ Зевсу, который Иоанн Патмосский назвал «Троном Сатаны» в вышеупомянутом Священном Писании, Красная Церковь (великий храм египетских богов Исиды, известный сегодня как «Красная базилика» и состоящий из главного здания и двух круглых башен на огромной священной территории, в первом веке нашей эры – христианская церковь в Пергаме, Акрополь (состоящий из верхнего и ниж- него Акрополя и многочисленных построек) и святилище Асклепиона (где люди с проблемами здоро- вья могли искупаться в водах священного источника; на месте было найдено много подарков и посвя- щений, таких как небольшие терракотовые части тела, несомненно, представляющие то, что было ис- целено). Переезд в Айвалык. Заселение в отель в городе Айвалык. Ужин. ДЕНЬ 5 Ранний завтрак. Выселение из отеля. Сегодня мы начнем с древних руин в Измире (Смирна), богатых историей, а также одной из семи церквей Откровения «Се, стою у двери и стучу: если кто услышит голос Мой и отворит дверь, войду к нему, и буду вечерять с ним, и он со Мною» (Откр. 3:20). Трансфер в Сельджук. Древний Эфес. Этим утром мы отправимся в древний город Эфес, одну из семи церквей в Откровении (Откр. 1:11), который в течение многих лет был вторым по величине городом Римской империи, уступал только Риму. Находясь в Эфесе, мы осмотрим его многочисленные исторически богатые достопримечательности, включая Храм Артемиды (Дианы), фонтан Траяна, Термы Сколастики, Храм Адриана, Библиотеку Цельса и Большой театр – который вмещал 25000 зрителей (первоначально использовался для драмы, но в более поздние римские времена для гладиаторских боев), где проповедовал Павел и где произошли бунты серебряников. Мы прогуляемся по Аркадскому Пути, где когда-то в процессии ехали Марк Антоний и Клеопатра. Далее мы посетим древние руины Милета. Этот город является родиной архитектора Свя- той Софии (и изобретателя аркбутана) Исидора Милетского. Далее посетим Храм апостола Иоанна Богослова и место погребение апостола согласно традиции. Трансфер в Кушадасы и заселение в гостинице Кушадасы. Ужин. ДЕНЬ 6 Завтрак. Выселение из отеля. Свободное время в Кушадасы. Переезд в Памукале. Заселение в спа отель. Ужин. Отдых ДЕНЬ 7 «Знаю твои дела; ты ни холоден, ни горяч; о, если бы ты был холоден, или горяч! Но, как ты тепл, а не горяч и не холоден, то извергну тебя из уст Моих… Кого Я люблю, тех обличаю и наказываю. Итак будь ревностен и покайся» (Откр. 3:15-16, 19). Сегодня мы увидим Лаодикию, од- ну из семи церквей, которую наказывали за то, что она теплая. Археологические раскопки около Ла- одикии до сих пор свидетельствуют о ее былом величии: относительно хорошо сохранившиеся стади- он, спортзал и театры. Мы также остановимся у руин Хиераполиса (еще одно известное место с горя- чими источниками), куда Павел принес благую весть (Кол. 4:13). Посмотрим на травертины Памукале и посетим Бассейн Клеопатры – это удивительное место: еще во времена Римской империи бассейны посещали богатые и знатные римляне, так как считали горячие источники Памуккале лечебными. Го- раздо позднее выяснили, что вода источников действительно полезна: она лечит болезни кровообра- щения, артриты, кожные заболевания. А о мгновенном омоложении говорят все . Ужин. Отдых. ДЕНЬ 8 Ранний Завтрак. Выселение из отеля. «То, что видишь, напиши в книгу и пошли церквам, находящимся в Асии: в Ефес, и в Смирну, и в Пергам, и в Фиатиру, и в Сардис, и в Филадельфию, и в Лаодикию» (Откр. 1:11). Сегодня мы начнем с посещения церкви в Филадельфии (Аласехир), еще одну из семи церквей От- кровения, чтобы увидеть древнюю христианскую церковь - остатки византийской базилики, построен- ной из кирпича с фресками 11 века. Далее следует Сардис, древний город, значение которого было троекратным: во-первых, его военная мощь, во-вторых, его расположение на важной магистрали, ведущей из внутренних районов к побережью Эгейского моря, и в-третьих, его владение широкой и плодородной равниной Гермуса. Каким бы важным ни был Сардис, Иоанн ругал город (Откр. 3:1-6). В Сардисе мы исследуем массивный храм Артемиды, белую мраморную королев- скую дорогу, впечатляющий тренажерный зал и синагогу, где с 1958 года Гарвардский и Корнеллский университеты спонсировали ежегодные археологические экспедиции. В ходе этих раскопок была об- наружена, пожалуй, самая впечатляющая синагога в западной диаспоре, обнаруженная с древних вре- мен, где было обнаружено более восьмидесяти греческих и семь еврейских надписей, а также много- численные мозаичные полы. Далее посетим Фиатиру и отправимся в г. Акхисар. Акхисар упоминается в Библии как Фиатира (греч. Θυάτειρα) – одна из Церквей Апокалипсиса).. Размещение в отеле в Стамбуле. Поздний ужин. ДЕНЬ 9 Завтрак. Выезд из отеля. Трансфер в аэропорт. Вылет из Стамбула «Бодрствуйте, стойте в вере, будьте мужественны, тверды. Все у вас да будет с любовью» (1Кор. 16:13-14). * Маршрут, а также очередность посещения мест может быть изменены в связи с карантинными ограничениями, а также в целях безопасности либо в связи с ремонтными работами на дорогах.

Travel with purpose combines the exploration of new places with the practice of looking inward. This path leads visitors past regular attractions to discover ancient rituals and stunning places of worship as well as monasteries and peaceful periods of solitude. When you experience spiritual travel your mental perception expands while your consciousness becomes more heightened thus leading you toward a meaningful life direction.

These spiritual encounters surpass typical tourist attractions because they offer designed experiences for deep reflection.

Meals served on board. DAY 2 Athens This morning we arrive in Istanbul and transfer to our flight to Athens.This afternoon we arrive in Athens and be met and transferred to our hotel for check in. Dinner and overnight at our hotel. DAY 3 Athens, Corinth This morning we start our tour of Athens by visiting the important modern and archaeological sites in the city of Athens, the Acropolis and neighboring monuments. While driving through the main streets of Athens, we have an opportunity to see other places of interest such as the University, the Academy, the National Library, the Temple of Zeus, the Panathenian Stadium, Omonia Square, Constitution Square and the Royal Palace. This afternoon we drive along the coastal road to Corinth. Continue along the wonderful beach of Kinetta, make a brief stop at the Corinth Canal, then on to ancient Corinth to visit the Museum, the Bema of St. Paul, the Doric Temple of Apollo, the Askeleion, Agora, Lechaion Road, and the Peirene Fountain. Return to our hotel for dinner overnight. DAY 4 This morning we board our bus and begin our journey to Mycenae. The Mycenaean’s were fierce warriors and great engineers who designed and built remarkable bridges, fortification walls, and beehive-shaped tombs, all employing Cyclopean masonry and elaborate drainage and irrigation systems. Their palatial centers, “Mycenae rich in gold” and “sandy Pylos,” are immortalized in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. This afternoon drive to Patras port to board our ferry to Bari, Italy. Dinner and overnight on the ferry. DAY 5 This morning we will disembark our ship and head to Foro Appio and Tres Tabernaes – Three Taverns, still on the Appian Way, you reach Pozzuoli. This is the same port where Paul landed…and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli. (Acts 28:13). This afternoon we visit the area of the sea-port and the Roman Amphitheater in order to get a sense of what Paul experienced once he arrived on the mainland of the “Roman Empire”. Check into our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 6 Pompeii, Minturno, Foro Appio This morning we go to Pompeii, and have an archeological journey through the ancient city. Pompeii, which was buried under a layer of ash and pumice by a sudden eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D., is a town whose daily life of the Imperial Age has been petrified. It is as if it were under a spell in its gestures, secrets and in the panic felt by its inhabitants during its last moments. Visiting the “frozen city” creates a feeling similar to that experienced by Paul when he walked through similar streets from his time. Then we will visit the houses, shops, temples, squares, streets and also the “Lupanare” (which was a brothel with its frescos showing erotic scenes) and the “Suburbane Therm” (with erotic frescoes, among which the only saffico-picture of the Roman world). Now you understand the anger of Paul shouting aloud against corruption and perdition of the Romans. Romans 1, 26…. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. From Pompeii we go to Minturno, then to Foro Appio for a typical dinner and overnight. DAY 7 Foro Appio, Tres Tabernae, Rome After breakfast we will have time to meditate on Paul. This was a swamp when Paul arrived here. Stand by the river, full of historical and spiritual meanings. Foro Appio, at “Mansio Hotel” is located in the same place where an ancient Roman “posta” (place where travelers could rest and change their tired horses before continuing their journey). This might be the place where the Sacred Writings remind us of the meeting of Paul with the Christian Communities Acts 28:14 (…”And so we came to Rome. The brothers there had heard that we were coming and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us.”) Depart Foro Appio late in the morning and travel towards Rome, stopping a few minutes at the Church of St. Paul (built in the place where he met the Christian Community) of TRES TABERNE – Three Taverns …and so we went toward Rome. (Acts 28:14.) Then we will continue to Rome. We arrive in Rome in the late morning. In the afternoon we will visit the Roman Forum, Colosseum and Mamertine Prison, where Paul was held. Check into our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 8 Rome, Vatican City, Catacombs, St. Paul's This morning we visit the Vatican Museum and Gallery (and if time permits Raphael’s Rooms with their wonderful frescoes) the Sistine Chapel – where Michelangelo’s recently restored masterpieces adorn the ceilings and walls – and Pincio Garden. We continue into St.Peter’s Basilica and view Vatican City. This afternoon we visit St. Paul’s Basilica Outside the Walls and the Church of St. Peter in Chains with the famed statue of Moses by Michelangelo. We visit the Old Appian Way and the Catacombs of St. Calixtus, then returnto our hotel for dinner. DAY 9 Rome, USA We will be taken to the airport for our flight home. with memories to cherish always. Day by Day PRE-TOUR: NORTHERN GREECE DAY 1 USA / Istanbul Tour members are welcomed for our departing flight to Istanbul via wide-body aircraft arriving the next day. Meals served on board. DAY 2 Istanbul / Thessaloniki Today we arrive at Thessaloniki, named after Alexander the Great’s sister. The city features prominently in the New Testament, at which time this provincial capital was considered a world cultural center. This community was the center of Paul’s activities in Northern Greece. It is where he preached and founded a church, and he wrote two epistles to the people of Thessaloniki (Acts 17:1-9; 1 Thessalonians; 2 Thessalonians). This evening we enjoy a welcome dinner at our hotel. DAY 3 Philippi / Kavala / Thessaloniki Today we tour along the ancient route of the Apostle Paul to Amphipolis (Acts 17:1). Our journey takes us to ancient Philippi, which was named after the father of Alexander the Great. This busy Roman colony boasted a great library and theater. In Philippi, Paul preached and established the first church in Europe, and it was the people of Philippi to whom he wrote one of his epistles while imprisoned in Rome (Acts 16:11-40; Philippians). It was in this area that Paul met Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She and her household accepted Christ and were baptized in the nearby river (Acts 16:11-15). Next we continue to Kavala, ancient port of Neapolis (Acts 16:9-11). We return to our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 4 Thessaloniki / Veria / Kalambaka This morning we stop in Veria (Beroea of the New Testament), where Paul and Silas were sent by friends after being accused of treason in Thessalonika (Acts 17:5-15). We visit the Bema, where Paul is said to have stood and preached the Gospel to the local community. Next we continue to Kalambaka to see the striking scenery of the “Hanging Monasteries”. Perched on top of huge rocks that seem to be suspended in mid-air are ageless monasteries where we can see exquisite specimens of Byzantine art. There are 24 monasteries in total, with 6 currently inhabited. We visit one of them before checking into our hotel for dinner and overnight. DAY 5 Kalambaka / Athens Today we depart our hotel and drive to Athens. We stop at Thermopylae, the location where the Greeks victoriously fought for their freedom during the Greco-Persian wars in 480 BC. We see the statue of Leonidas, king of the Greek city-state Sparta. Next we continue to Athens, where we have a panoramic orientation tour and may have some free time to explore the Plaka. Dinner and overnight in Athens. DAY 6 Athens Today in Athens we visit the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Areopagus, and Mars Hill, where the Apostle Paul delivered his well-known sermon (Acts 17:15-34). We see the Acropolis Museum, then have a panoramic tour of the Parliament House, the Academy, Omonia Square, and Panathenaic Stadium. We have free time in the Plaka area, the ancient city of Athens. Dinner and overnight at our hotel. *The trip will take place in case of a group of 16 people * * The route, as well as the order of visiting places, may be changed due to quarantine restrictions, as well as for safety reasons or due to the weather, road repair work etc. Reviews
