About this trip
This 5-day tour traces the Seven Churches named in the Book of Revelation, taking in the biblical sites of Izmir, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, Hierapolis and Ephesus.
It's a trip built around scripture and history rather than beaches or nightlife, following the ground where St Paul and John once ministered. Expect ancient ruins, ancient churches and ancient cities rather than a packed party itinerary.
Good for those with a genuine interest in biblical history or early Christianity, travelling in a small group with guided visits to each site.
