Overview

Ephesus, one of the most influential cities of the ancient world, played a key role in the spread of early Christianity. Among its many spiritual milestones, none is more powerful than the footsteps of St. Paul the Apostle. He first visited the city around 52 AD, and during his third journey (54–57 AD), left an indelible mark through his teachings, debates, and letters that shaped Christian theology.

This private tour brings Scripture to life as you walk through the Grand Theater, the agora, and the streets where Paul reasoned with crowds. It’s more than a historical visit — it's a pilgrimage led by a licensed, English-speaking guide with Biblical training.

Enjoy a peaceful lunch in a garden setting at a family-run weaving school, reflect on Paul’s mission, and return to your ship with your heart full — and your schedule perfectly timed.
