About this trip

Travel and sail with fellow pilgrims as you retrace the missionary journeys of St. Paul the Apostle! This land and cruise pilgrimage to mainland Greece, the Greek Isles, and Turkey visits significant New Testament sites and magnificent Mediterranean landmarks. Scripture will take on new meaning as you visit the ancient communities where St. Paul preached and established churches - and to whom he wrote his epistles, including the Thessalonians, Philippians, Corinthians, and Ephesians. Enjoy a beautiful three-night Aegean Sea cruise that will include visits to Patmos, Ephesus, Mykonos, and Santorini. Then, finish with Istanbul, the largest city and principal seaport of Turkey, historically known as Byzantium and Constantinople. Experience an incredible journey enriched by daily Holy Mass, the companionship of fellow traditional Catholics, and the ease and comfort of group travel.

Visiting the Churches in Greece

In Greece, the churches we will visit are predominantly Greek Orthodox since the population is mostly Greek Orthodox. However, the sites hold great Catholic significance due to St. Paul's apostolate there. As pilgrims, we will still have the opportunity to learn about the early Christian Church and appreciate the rich Catholic heritage of these places.
