Turkey / Greece
GTI SIGNATURE TOUR
Oct 11-24, 2021
Experience Turkey & Greece on a GTI Signature Study Tour and you'll see Scripture in a new light.
One of the first places the message of Jesus was preached was modern-day Turkey and Greece. At least 22 of the 27 books of the New Testament were written to or from the Biblical Lands of Turkey and Greece. On this Signature Study Tour, we will explore the geography, history, and culture of the First Century audience of these New Testament Letters. With the Bible in hand, we will follow in the footsteps of Paul.
To better step into the world of the New Testament and the Book of Revelation, we will take a cruise on the Aegean Sea to the breathtaking Island of Patmos. It was here, as a prisoner, that John divinely received the contents of the Book of Revelation. We will explore the ancient cities where Jesus uniquely addressed the 7 churches. We will conclude our journey in Greece, diving deep into Scripture and the cities of Athens and Corinth.
Along the way, we will enjoy some of the amazing sights and tastes associated with both Turkish and Greek culture, both past and present.

Your tour leader, study materials, and even itinerary are biblically focused, creating a journey that will draw you more deeply into God’s Word with each step you take.
Each stop on your itinerary is selected because it provides an experience than brings meaning and emotional significance to the information you will be learning.
There’s no need to worry about wasting time and money haggling or being surprised by hidden costs. Except for souvenirs and optional upgrades, every part of your trip is covered.
Our secure online payment and registration system allows for payment plans and reminders, easy passport and document uploads, and confidence that your money and information is safe.
Friends and family can receive daily updates of text, photos, audio, and video from you and other participants to keep up with where you are and what you’re learning via the GTI Online Tour Journal.
We take care of everything so you can stay focused during your Study Tour, including providing you with a hydration backpack, study guide, plug adapter, and even a flashlight (when the trip calls for it).
We have spent years developing relationships with experienced guides and drivers because they are an integral part of a study tour. And if you already have a trusted guide/driver you prefer that’s ok too!
