Turkey
Discover Seven Churches of Revelation & Aegean Civilizations
May 11 - May 23, 2025
Tour Introduction:
Turkey, serving as a crucial bridge between diverse cultures and regions, boasts a rich historical tapestry deeply interwoven with global significance. The strategic significance of the territory surrounding the Sea of Marmara, acting as a pivotal intermediary point between Europe and Asia, has left an indelible mark on world history from ancient times to the present day. Dating back to the colonization by the Ancient Greeks, the seaway straits facilitated the exchange of ideas, knowledge, cultures, and trade between the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas and the Black Sea, shaping the region's identity and trajectory. Embarking on a journey from the captivating city of Istanbul, steeped in history, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, to the enchanting landscapes of Cappadocia, adorned with surreal moonscape formations, fairy chimneys, and cave dwellings sculpted by erosion, promises a journey of discovery and adventure. Amidst bustling bazaars, exquisite architecture, and culinary delights, travelers can explore the remnants of the Seven Churches of Revelation, which, though scattered amidst modern Turkish cities, bear testament to a profound spiritual legacy echoing through the corridors of time.
