Treasures of the Aegean May 6-19, 2008
Twenty-three of us took this “Treasures of the Aegean” tour around the shores of the Aegean Sea and several of its islands. The Aegean is a beautiful embayment of the Mediterranean Sea that lies between modern Turkey and Greece. Along its shores lie magnificent treasures, the sites and remains of some of the most important cities mentioned in the New Testament. The islands that make up its southern extremity are familiar to every New Testament reader. Our travelers climbed the hills, followed the trails, and rode the rolling waves to Athens, Corinth, Pergamum, Ephesus, Alexandria Troas, Miletus, Patmos, Crete, and Rhodes – not to mention Istanbul (ancient Constantinople), Troy (site of the Trojan War), and the beautiful island of Santorini.
