Route Ephesus · Smyrna · Pergamon · Thyatira · Sardis · Philadelphia · Laodicea
from €650
Walk through the Book of Revelation as you visit all Seven Churches, reflect on powerful biblical messages, and stand in sacred places where Saint John, Saint Paul, and the Virgin Mary once lived, preached, and prayed.
Walk the marble streets where Paul preached and John ministered. Ephesus calls us to return to the passionate, unwavering love we once had for Christ.
“You have forsaken the love you had at first.” — Revelation 2:4
City of myrrh and martyrdom, Smyrna reminds us to remain steadfast in suffering. Here, saints like Polycarp stood firm under persecution with eternal hope.
“Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.” — Revelation 2:10
In ancient Pergamon, where Satan’s throne once stood, the Church is called to resist cultural compromise and remain true to the sharp two-edged sword of truth.
“I know where you live — where Satan has his throne.” — Revelation 2:13
Thyatira was a hub of commerce and temptation. Amid moral confusion, Jesus urges His followers here to hold fast and overcome with hearts of holiness.
“Only hold on to what you have until I come.” — Revelation 2:25
A city known for its fading glory, Sardis challenges us to awaken from spiritual slumber and strengthen what remains before it’s lost.
“Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die.” — Revelation 3:2
This city of brotherly love reflects a faithful church. In Philadelphia, we are reminded that God honors endurance and opens doors no one can shut.
“See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” — Revelation 3:8
Self-reliant yet spiritually poor, Laodicea echoes Christ’s plea: “Be zealous and repent.” He still knocks-inviting us to reignite our faith from the inside out.
“So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” — Revelation 3:16
