This morning, we will explore the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the Seven Churches of Revelation (Rev. 1:11), which, for many years, was the second-largest city in the Roman Empire, second only to Rome. In Ephesus, we will visit its numerous historically rich landmarks, including the Temple of Artemis (Diana), the Trajan Fountain, the Baths of Scholastica, the Temple of Hadrian, the Celsus Library, and the Grand Theater – which could accommodate 25,000 spectators (initially used for drama but later in Roman times for gladiator contests), where Paul preached and where the silversmiths' riot took place.

Archaeological excavations near Laodicea still testify to its past grandeur: relatively well-preserved stadium, gymnasium, and theaters. We will also stop at the ruins of Hierapolis (another famous site with hot springs), where Paul delivered the good news (Col. 4:13). We'll admire the travertine terraces of Pamukkale and visit Cleopatra's Pool – a remarkable place where, even in Roman times, the pools were frequented by wealthy and noble Romans who believed in the healing properties of the Pamukkale hot springs.

Reviews
A Life-Changing trip: Explore the Seven Churches of Revelation in Turkey
The believers recognize at Favor travel that most Christians wish to follow Jesus and the apostles in their paths of ministry. The Seven Churches of Revelation Tour represents more than any other journey. It's a return to the roots of your belief.
The Turkey Religious Tours guide visitors to the core center of Early Christianity. The fast pace of modern existence does not grant enough time for reflection. Bills, responsibilities, problems, job, bills again... Life is so hectic, and deep down we’re always longing to find that moment to pause and reflect. Space allows us to understand Christianity deeply because it embraces profound knowledge.
Have you ever considered how far the Apostle Paul traveled, especially for his time? During his travels he crossed seas and survived shipwrecks then walked endless distances on foot while facing scandals along with threats and imprisonment. That doesn’t sound like a peaceful life, does it? He devoted his entire existence to complete the mission. Walking the same paths that Paul walked is possible for you today. You can touch the stones of the churches he helped build.
All churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation today stand in the territory of modern Turkey. Yes — they’ve been carefully excavated and preserved as archaeological parks. You can visit them.
And maybe that’s exactly what your soul needs — a pause from the rush of daily life. A time-traveling adventure to obtain new strength for today while building courage for tomorrow. Religious tours in Turkey offer this: stillness, awe, and moments of deep spiritual clarity. Among the most meaningful experiences in turkey religious tours is the seven churches of revelation tour. The seven churches of revelation tour represents more than historical records since they represent your direct spiritual connection.

The Journey Begins in Ephesus: Paul's Legacy Lives On
The seven churches tour begins frequently in Ephesus which stands as one of the best-preserved ancient cities globally.
