Overview
Follow the footsteps of St. Paul on an inspiring 11-day journey through Türkiye’s most important biblical and cultural sites. Beginning in Izmir, explore Miletus, Ephesus, and the Church of St. Polycarp before continuing through Pergamon, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Hierapolis, Laodicea, and Pisidian Antioch.
Travel onward to Konya and Cappadocia, where early Christian communities flourished among rock-cut churches, underground cities, and dramatic valleys. Visit highlights such as the Göreme Open-Air Museum, Ihlara Valley, Uçhisar Castle, Paşabağ, and Özkonak Underground City.
Complete your pilgrimage in Istanbul with visits to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the historic Hippodrome, plus a free day for optional experiences. From ancient theatres and sacred ruins to volcanic valleys and timeless city skylines, each destination reveals another chapter of early Christianity and invites you to experience the landscapes, traditions, and stories that shaped St. Paul’s world.
