Sultan Ahmet Mosque. Popularly known as the Blue Mosque, this 17th
century Ottoman sanctuary is adorned with six minarets and more than
20,000 hand-painted Iznik tiles. And then we will walk directly across from

where Constantinople was founded, Topkapi Palace is the former abode
of Ottoman Sultans that still houses their legion of treasures, including

world. We will tour the Acropolis which sits atop a 1000-foot windswept
mountain, oering a view of the neighboring modern towns, the azure
waters of the Aegean, and the ruins of Pergamum that cascade down from

of Athena, and the Altar of Zeus. We finish our day by continuing to Izmir
for dinner and overnight.
Day 13 – Wednesday, July 9: Izmir, Pamukkale
After breakfast, we have a tour of Izmir (Smyrna), a city established in
3,000 B.C. This was one of the Seven Churches which John referred to as
the poor, persecuted church that God announced was rich (Rev. 2:8-11).
Afterwards, we travel to Sart (Sardis), the church with a reputation for being
alive, but God announced that it was dead (Rev. 3:1-6). Then we continue
to Alasehir (Philadelphia), the church which received God’s highest
commendation (Rev. 3:7-13). We then arrive in Pamukkale, home to the
spectacular hot springs. We have a visit in the nearby ruins of Hierapolis, an
important seat of early Christianity. Dinner and overnight are in Pamukkale.
Day 14 – Thursday, July 10: Pamukkale, Istanbul
We depart from our hotel and visit the ancient city and church of Laodecia
where Apostle John chastised the inhabitants for being lukewarm (Rev.
3:14-22). Then we drive to Denizli Airport and fly to Istanbul. Upon arrival
at Sabiha Gokcen Airport in Istanbul, we will drive to our hotel for our
farewell dinner and closing service.
Day 15 – Friday, July 11: Istanbul Airport, Home
After breakfast, we drive to Istanbul Airport for our return flight back to the
U.S.A. We return home full of life changing memories, having walked in the
footsteps of the early Christians.
