"Life-changing, Jesus-centred, and incredibly helpful!
This study tour has massively enriched my insight and appreciation of the Bible’s historical and cultural context, reshaping the way I read, preach, and apply God’s Word in my life and ministry. I’m pumped to bring books like Revelation, Colossians, and Ephesians vividly to life for our church family!"
"There truly was so much to love about the study tour – great community building, fantastic lectures, amazing sites. However, it was walking the ancient streets and cities and catching a glimpse of the world in which the gospel spread that was most impactful. It has profoundly enriched my bible reading both personally and in my ministry."

Before the trip, please arrange travel insurance (discounted cover is available via bob@guidepost-travel.com), inform us of any dietary or medical requirements, and obtain your visa for Türkiye from the official website: eVisa for Türkiye. Also, send a copy of your passport details page to our travel agent before November.
Pack as light as possible since you’ll be moving between hotels frequently. Bring at least a week’s worth of underwear and essentials, a daypack for use during tours, and a water bottle (water is available on the bus). January weather can be cool (5°C–15°C) with some rain, so include warm layers, a raincoat or umbrella, and waterproof footwear. And don’t forget your passport!
In Greece, you will use the Euro and in Türkiye, the Lira. It is best to withdraw small amounts as needed using your debit/credit card or use a multi-currency card like a “WISE” card.
