Turkey and Greece, May–June 2013
Join with Geneva students and faculty in May–June 2013 on a nine-day tour of Turkey, with an optional four-day extension to Greece. See the clash of historic faiths in the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, a city which stands astride the line between Europe and Asia. Wander the modern streets and excavated ruins of the cities of the seven churches of the Book of Revelation, including Ephesus, Colossae and Philadelphia.
If you opt to add the four-day extension, you will see Patmos, where the Apostle John received his vision of the Revelation. Enjoy the ancient sites and beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean islands of Crete and Santorini. In Athens, you will see the Acropolis and stand where Paul stood as he addressed the Athenians in the Areopagus. We conclude with visits to Corinth and Bronze Age Mycenae.
