Christian Heritage & Biblical Tours in Turkey

When planning to explore Christian heritage sites and embark on Biblical tours, Türkiye stands as one of the most important destinations. At Felicity Travel, we design profound, private journeys for travelers seeking to walk in the footsteps of history, faith and scripture. Türkiye holds an unparalleled significance in biblical history—serving as the birthplace of some of the major biblical figures and the lands where a majority of the New Testament was written and shaped.From the Old Testament roots in the East to the journeys of the Apostles, the Seven Churches of Revelation in the West, and sacred sites like the House of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus or the St. Nicholas Church in Myra, Türkiye is a living testament to early Christianity. Accompanied by our expert, scripture-knowledgeable guides who bring the Word and history to life, you will experience these sacred lands with deep insight and complete personalization.

Discover Biblical Lands: From East to West

Türkiye’s rich biblical heritage spans across ancient landscapes that shaped the foundations of faith
  • Mount Ararat & Harran (The East): Mount Ararat stands as Turkey's highest peak in the East. In the Old Testament, Abraham journeyed from the ancient city of Ur to Harran—also located in modern-day eastern Türkiye—before moving on to Canaan.

  • Tarsus & Antioch (The Cradle of Early Church): St. Paul was born in Tarsus. In Antioch (Antakya), Peter and many apostles gathered for worship, and it was here that the followers of Jesus were first called "Christians."

  • St. Paul’s Missionary Journeys: As detailed in the Acts of the Apostles, the ancient Roman cities where Paul traveled—such as Perge, Pisidian Antioch, Lystra, Derbe, Iconium, Cappadocia, Mysia, Troas, Assos, and Miletus—all lie within modern Türkiye. Biblical regions mentioned in Paul's epistles, such as Galatia and Colossae, are also rooted here.

  • Ephesus and the Seven Churches of Revelation: Ephesus, one of the most important cities in Christian history where the faith was proclaimed to the world, is located in western Türkiye. Furthermore, St. John wrote letters to the Seven Churches of Revelation—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—all of which are situated in Türkiye and continually visited by Christian pilgrims.

In recent years, Türkiye has gained remarkable recognition among Christian travelers, and its profound spiritual importance continues to be discovered by believers from across the globe.
