Don’t miss the chance to take one of my Greek Heritage Tours of Asia Minor!
Since 2018, I’ve been organizing and leading open-group and private Greek heritage tours of Asia Minor as well as cultural, casual, historic, and religious tours of Turkey and Greece.
Tours are available through my travel company, Paisadventure, on an open-group tour with fixed dates OR privately. With private tours, you can build your itinerary and choose the dates that work best for you.
2025 Open-Group Greek Heritage Tour of Asia Minor
Next year’s trip includes Constantinople, Cappadocia, the footsteps of St. Nicholas, the 7 Churches of Revelation (Ephesus, Laodicea, Pergamon, Philadelphia, Thyateira, Sardis, and Smyrna), and Smyrna’s transition to Izmir.
- Learn about the ancient Greek, Early Christian, Byzantine, and post-Byzantine history of Asia Minor.
- Visit places associated with the rise of Christianity in the region to understand their lasting impact on today’s Orthodox Church.
- Introduce yourself to the complicated relationship between Anatolian Greeks and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, Ottoman Empire, and modern Turkish Republic.
- Walk through sites related to the Greek Genocide and Population Exchange of 1923.
- Delve into the similarities and differences of Turkish and Greek cuisine.
- Visit 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites and a further 6 on the tentative list.
Dates will be determined by December 2024. The first session will likely start in May or June. Tours are limited to only 4 people, allowing for a more relaxed experience and more time at each site. You also have the opportunity to see much more than what you would on a large group tour. We will stay in small locally-owned boutique hotels and all transportation is in a private car.
The price will be between $5250-$5750 per person, excluding international airfare. Cash discounts are available. Reserve your spot with a $200 refundable deposit.
This is a unique opportunity and you will not find this itinerary anywhere else.
