Walk Where the Apostles Walked
Join Pastor Eli Hendricks and Holy Land Encounters on an extraordinary 10-day pilgrimage through the ancient lands of Türkiye and the Greek Islands — tracing the very footsteps of the Apostles and the early Christian church.
This is not simply a tour. It is a life-changing experience that brings the pages of Scripture alive. You will stand in the ruins of ancient Ephesus — once a thriving port city of 250,000 souls — view the Library of Celsus, walk the same streets Paul walked, and see the very site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
You will set foot on the sacred Isle of Patmos — a UNESCO World Heritage Monument — and enter the Grotto of the Apocalypse, where Jesus spoke to the Apostle John and revealed the visions of the Book of Revelation. From there, sail aboard the Celestyal Iconic Aegean to the stunning island of Santorini, explore the oldest civilization in Europe at the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete, and ascend the Acropolis of Athens — where democracy and philosophy were born nearly 25 centuries ago.
Back on land, visit all 7 Churches of Revelation — Ephesus, Smyrna (Izmir), Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea — and soak in the thermal pools of Pamukkale's Cotton Castle, site of Hierapolis where the Apostle Philip lived and was martyred.
This is the journey of a lifetime. Prepare yourself — tomorrow, you will be walking where the Apostles walked.
