Upon arrival in Athens, 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 that will be seen include the Agora from above (ancient marketplace and center of Athenian public life), the house of Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Olympic Stadium, and the Presidential Palace. We will leave Athens and drive southwest until we reach the Corinth Canal which connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. Then drive on and visit the ancient town of Corinth where St. Paul lived and preached for two years. The remains of the City, which include the Agora (market place) and Apollo’s Temple (6th century B.C.) clearly show how rich and important Corinth was in Ancient Times. We then travel to the Site of the Ancient Port of Cechries, where St. Paul disembarked, this will conclude the visit. Return back to Athens where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

We will board our cruise ship and sail this morning from Athens to the quaint isle of Mykonos, called the island of windmills. This is a stunningly picturesque Cycladic town with a maze of tiny streets and whitewashed steps, lanes, houses and churches, gathered around its harbor in the middle of a wide bay. Experience the waterfront lined with shops and cafes and then stroll the charming walkways. You may choose to explore on your own, before returning to the ship for dinner and evening activities.

This morning your cruise will be docking in Turkey. You will enjoy a tour of Ephesus (included), 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. This afternoon we will visit  the Isle of Patmos, under statutory protection as a historic monument, you will take a tour to see the fortified monastery of St. John and the cave claimed to be where John received the Revelation. The Cave of the Apocalypse is situated about halfway up the mountain on the Aegean island of Patmos, along the road between the villages of Chora and Skala. This grotto is believed to mark the spot where John of Patmos received his visions that he recorded in the Book of the Apocalypse (Revelation). In 1999, UNESCO declared the cave a joint World H
