Footsteps of Paul in Greece and Turkey Saint Mark’s Cathedral, Seattle, WA

October 8-19, 2026

ABOUT

Greece has often been called the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of Western Civilization. It, together with Turkey, is also the earliest home of Christianity outside of the Palestine/Israel. Led by The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason and local archaeological guides on the ground, this 12-day pilgrimage traces the footsteps of Paul in Greece and Turkey as he engaged the early Christian communities there. Our journey will take us to the well-preserved ruins of Athens, Corinth, Philippi, and Thessaloniki in Greece. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the byzantine monasteries perched on the cliffs of Meteora. In Turkey, we’ll visit Smyrna and Pergamum, two of the churches to whom Revelation was written to encourage them during troubled times. On our last full day we’ll explore Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Letter to the Ephesians is a remarkable witness to Paul’s courage and encouragement to the beleaguered Church. Note: Our Schedule may be adjusted based on guide availability.
