Point of interests ;  
CAPPADOCIA
is one of those rare regions in the world where the works of man blend unobtrusively into the natural surroundings. After
volcanic eruptions of the mountains in the region, early Christians gave a shape to the wind and rain eroded rock cones.
They made their churches, chapels, houses, and underground cities for hiding from their enemies. Would you like to enjoy
taking a walk in these magical valleys surrounded by churches, cities, carved houses or touring the fairy chimneys and horse
back riding along the rivers into the history?

INSIDE THE ASIA MINOR

There is a good chance that the road you will be traveling on is the same one great warriors of the east and the west trod,
and colorful caravans passed along, and couriers with mail or secret treaties galloped. Perhaps it is the same road traveled
by St. Paul and his disciples, or by Sufis spreading divine knowledge. In addition to the historic edifices proudly displayed
at the main archeological sites such as Troy, PERGAMUM, Ephesus, MILETUS, PRIENE, DIDYMA, Aphrodisias,
Heracles, Caunos, Perge and Aspendos, many coastal villages and towns are blessed with their very own Anatolian ruins
on the outskirts. You will swim in the beaches where once Cleopatra had swum. You can even see the "Sunken Cities" if
you look the crystal clear turquoise waters as you swim.
 

THE BIBLICAL TOURS
Turkey is the Cradle of Christianity. People of the Faith were first called Christians in Turkey (Acts 11:26). The rainbow
first appeared at Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey (Gen. 9:12-15). Paul of Tarsus spent years in the churches throughout
Asia Minor. Polycarp of Smyrna, modern-day Izmir, was one of the first Christian martyrs. The Seven Churches of
Asia Minor (Ephesus, Smyrna, PERGAMUM, Thyatira, LAODOCIA, Philadelphia, Sardis) in Revelation 2-3 are in
 western Turkey. Nicea, of the Nicea Creed, was the site of two ecumenical councils. St. Paul preached some of his first
sermons in Ephesus in southwestern Turkey. Virgin Mary spent the final days of her life in her house in the same area.
Haghia Sophia in Istanbul was the largest church of its time, once serving as the center for Christianity. St. Philip lived
in HIERAPOLIS in southern Turkey. Now would you like to follow the footsteps of St. John?
