Overview

Click map for larger size

A unique vacation! Start your trip in Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece, and enjoy a welcome dinner. Travel to Thessalonika for a guided sightseeing tour of this city, which was named after Alexander the Great's sister and figured prominently in the New Testament at which time this provincial capital was considered a world cultural center. On your way to Kalambaka, stop in Veria and visit the Bema of Apostle Paul, where Paul is said to have stood and preached the Gospel to the local community. In Meteora, visit Varlaam and St. Stephen's Monasteries. Situated atop vast rocks, the 14th-century monasteries compose one of the most breathtaking sites in the world.

In Piraeus, board your 3-day Greece and Turkey cruise with visits to the islands of Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, and Crete. In Mykonos, you have time to wander through the narrow paved streets lined with trendy boutiques and shady tavernas. You also stop at the tiny island of Patmos, the “Jerusalem of the Aegean,” and the Turkish port of Kusadasi.

Disembark in Piraeus and travel to Corinth to visit the excavations and then journey to Athens. In Athens, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour featuring visits to the Acropolis and Areopagus, where Paul delivered his famous sermon about the identity of "the Unknown God." From Athens, fly to Valletta, Malta for three nights. In Valletta, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour featuring the Upper Barracca Gardens and St. John's Cathedral. This vacation is a trip of a lifetime!
