About this experience

Embark on a journey through ancient Asia Minor, where history, faith, and breathtaking landscapes come alive. Explore the Seven Churches of Revelation—Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardes, Laodicea, Ephesus, and more—each with its own story of courage, compromise, love, or warning. Walk the streets where apostles preached, visit Polycarp’s martyrdom site, and see the House of the Virgin Mary, believed to be her final home.

Marvel at well-preserved Roman theaters, magnificent basilicas, and ancient necropolises, and unwind in Pamukkale’s thermal pools and travertine terraces. Discover the legacy of faith in Basilica of St. John and stand in awe at the ruins of cities that shaped early Christianity.
