DAY 1| MON Nov 11 DEPART USA Today you embark on a Journey to the lands of ancient treasures and Christian history with an overnight flight to Greece. Prepare yourself for a life-changing experience. Get some rest on the flight. Tomorrow you will be walking where the apostles walked! DAY 2| TUES NOV 12 ARRIVE IN GREECE, THESSALONIKI You arrive in Thessaloniki and check into your hotel. You will have the remainder of the day free to relax or take a stroll along the streets of Thessaloniki to enjoy the flavor of the city. This evening the group will enjoy the first of many delectable European style dinners. DAY 3| WED NOV 13 GREECE, THESSALONIKI PHILLIPI KAVALA Tour Thessaloniki, Philippi and Kavala You begin the day by following the massive battlement Byzantine wall to the citadel for a panoramic view of the city. Next, you will visit Philippi and Kavala. Kavala is Greece’s prettiest mainland port with a most elegant harbor. Paul landed here with his disciples, Timothy and Silas. Luke, the Evangelist, also came here from Troas. This ancient city of Neapolis was later renamed Christoupolis because it was the first European city to accept Christianity. Imagine walking on the same sod as these men of the Bible! You will see the Roman Aqueduct and the ruins of the Acropolis in this beautifully located city, known since the 5th century as Kavala. Continue on to Philippi where Paul preached his first evangelical sermon and baptized the first Christians on European soil. You will view the baptismal site where Lydia surrendered her life to Christ and visit a crypt dating from the Roman period that is thought to have served as a prison for Paul. See the famous Acropolis, the Market Place, Basilica, and the Theatre. We return to Thessalonica and visit St. Demetrius Basilica, dedicated to a distinguished member of the Roman army and a martyred Christian convert, before returning to the hotel overnight. DAY 4| THUR NOV 14 GREECE, ATHENS Thessaloniki City Tour and Berea Tour Before leaving Thessaloniki you drive through town and see remnants of the original Roman road that spanned the nation during Paul’s time. En route you will view the old city ramparts; the newly excavated Forum, St. George Church, an ancient Roman monument which was

transformed into a church and the Galerius Arch which rises over the famous Via Egnatia. Continuing on to Berea you view the ancient synagogue where Paul spoke and the Bema (surrounded by mosaics of Paul and the plaque of scripture regarding the “more noble” church). Travel towards Athens southward past Thermopylae and learn of the famous Spartan battle of 300. Lodging tonight is in Athens. DAY 5 FRI NOV 15 GREECE, ATHENS/MYCONOS Cruising Mykonos This morning you sail from Athens to the quaint isle of Mykonos, called the island of windmills. Experience the waterfront lined with shops and cafes and stroll the charming walkways through a maze of whitewashed buildings before returning to the ship for dinner and evening entertainment. DAY 6 SAT NOV 16 EPHESSOS , PATMOS Tour Ancient Ephesus and Patmos Docking in Turkey, enjoy an included tour of Ephesus, the city of the Bible and one of the largest restorations still in progress, with miles of ancient treasures. Ephesus was once a thriving port town of 250,000 people. Today you can still see the spectacular excavations of the major streets in this ancient city including the Agora, the Odeon, the Library, the marble-paved main Street, the Baths, Trajan’s Fountain, the Residences of the Patricians, the Prytaneum, and Temple of Hadrian. The Great Theatre, built in the 4th century B.C., could accommodate 24,000 spectators and is famous even now for its acoustics. This afternoon you will visit the Isle of Patmos, under statutory protection as a historic monument. There is a shore excursion included to see the fortified monastery of St. John and the cave claimed to be where John received the Revelation. Back on the ship, enjoy the Captain’s dinner before settling in to your cabin for the night. DAY 7| SUN NOV 17 GREECE, CRETE/SANTORINI Calling Crete and Santorini Crete is the largest and the most rugged of the Greek islands. There is a tour (included) to Heraklion and the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. This afternoon you visit the island of Santorini which is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands. The town of Thira where white-washed houses, narrow streets, open-air cafes and glittering boutiques cling to steep cliffs, is accessible by foot path, cable-car or mule. You may choose to take an optional tour of sailing around an active volcano crater and swimming in the water heated by hot springs or enjoy this lovely island on foot. You again return to the ship for dinner and evening entertainment.

DAY 8 MON NOV 18 GREECE, ATHENS, CORINTH Cruise Disembarkation, Athens Tour You disembark the cruise this morning and travel into Athens, the foundation of democracy. The group will visit the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and Erectheum before viewing Athens atop Mars Hill where Paul stood and preached the truth to the

Gentile nation. Additional sites include viewing the Agora (ancient market place and center of Athenian public life), the House of Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Olympic Stadium, and the Presidential Palace.  Then you will travel to the ancient city of Corinth, another treat for the New Testament scholar. Corinth is the city that inspired many of Paul’s most familiar letters. See the Archaeological Museum, the Market Place, the Bema, and the Temples. To enjoy a devotional in the midst of the ruins of the church of Corinth and see the pillars, steps, and public worship place where Paul preached will enhance your understanding and love of I & II Corinthians. The ruins of this important cultural center are fascinating as you walk along the stone path that the Apostle Paul walked. The engineering skill and intellect of these people are evident in the water systems that still flow from ancient to modern day. Your guide will be sure to show you the room dedicated to the medical care of that period. Have dinner, and overnight in Athens. DAY 9 TUE NOV 19 FLY TO ROME Transfer to Athens International Airport for your flight to Rome. Arrive at the Eternal City and take an orientation tour. View the Spanish Steps. Have dinner and overnight. DAY 10| WED NOV 20 ROME Visit Colosseum, Roman Forum, Mamertine jail, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain Have dinner and overnight. DAY 11 THU NOV 21 ROME Visit Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter.
