In the Footsteps of Saint PaulTurkey & Greece with a Greek Island Cruise June 26 – July 09, 2014

Travel with Fr. Stephen Curry, O.S.A.

Day 1 / Thursday – June 26th,, 2014 USA DepartureWe depart the USA today via our overnight flight to Istanbul, Turkey. Meals and refreshments will be served onboard according to the airlines policies.

Day 2 / Friday - June 27th, 2014 ArrivalArrive in Istanbul, meet your driver at the airport & transfer to the hotel. The arrivals process is fairly straightforward: de-plane, walk to customs area where you’ll need to purchase your tourist visa and clear immigration, collect your luggage, and meet your driver. Your driver will meet you just after you exit the luggage hall. A vehicle will be waiting to transfer all of you to the Hotel (about a 45 minute drive) in Istanbul. Evening: Welcome dinner (D.)

Day 3 / Saturday - June 28th, 2014Istanbul

Today you will focus on Old City as it was in the days of Justinian and the other Roman Emperors. You depart the hotel with your personal guide who is also a lecturer on the history of the City. The morning will primarily be spent at Seraglio Point where you are first taken to the site of the famous Hippodrome. Here you will see the obelisk of Theodosius with its 4th Century reliefs. Walk to Sultan Ahmet Camii, better known to us as The BlueMosque. With your expert guide you will learn that the Mosque was built in the 17th Century and is famous for its great dome, six minarets and an interior covered in blue Iznik tiles. You then visit Hagia Sophia, the great church built by the Emperor Justinian. Visit the legendary Topkapi Sarayi. Begun by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453, it was the palace of the Ottoman Sultans for over 300 years and is a supreme example of Ottoman architecture. Here we will wander through its many pavilions, courtyards and gardens, see unrivalled treasures from the collections of the Ottoman Sultans including dazzling jewelry and unique porcelain. Dinner at a nearby restaurant. (B. D.)

Day 4 / Sunday - June 29th, 2014 Istanbul – Gallipoli / Canakkale Morning drive to Gallipoli. Tour of the Gallipoli battlefield, scene of the aborted Allied invasion of 1915. Visit Anzac Cove, Lone Pine Cemetery and Chunuk Bair, then across the Dardanelles to Canakkale for dinner & overnight. (B. D.) • Mass that will be performed by Fr. Curry at a location nearby.

Day 5 / Monday - June 30th, 2014 Canakkale – Kusadasi - Troy – Pergamum – KusadasiToday we visit Troy with its famous wooden horse, tour Pergamum, the most famous of the Seven Churches mentioned in Revelations 2:12, including ancient Medical Center Asklepeion, Acropolis, Royal Gates, Temples of

Zeus/Athena, Library, Great Theater, Fountain of Titus and Gymnasium Asklepeion. Continue on to Kusadasi for overnight. (B. D.)

Day 6 / Tuesday - July 01st, 2014 Kusadasi – Ephesus - PatmosDrive to the remains of the great Ionian City of Ephesus, one of the Seven Churches mentioned in Revelation 1:11 and the best preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. Visit the remarkable Greco-Roman archaeological site of Ancient Ephesus dating back to the 11th century B.C. It has been painstakingly excavated and restored and is one of the world’s most fascinating sites of antiquity. Ephesus flourished as a prominent city and seaport between 600 B.C. and 500 A.D. Walk along Royal Road also known as the Arcadian Way; a 4th century white marble chariot thoroughfare who’s most striking sight is the two-story Library of Celsius. Uniquely beautiful, with its restored facade now the famed symbol of Ephesus, the Library once housed 12,000 scrolls of papyrus manuscripts making it the 2nd largest in the ancient world after the library in Alexandria, Egypt. Your walk along the Royal Road will also take you past the remains of some of the ancient city’s major civic buildings and temples as you move toward the Ephesus Theater from which St. Paul once preached to the Ephesians. The theater, seating 25,000 has exceptional acoustics and is still in use today for concerts and theatrical performances. Tour the Basilica of St. John, traditional site of his grave and conclude your tour with a visit the house of the Virgin Mary. • Mass that will be performed by Fr. Curry at a location nearby.

The tour will end at the port of Kusadasi where we will embark our cruise ship and sail for a visit to the beautiful Isle of Patmos, under statutory protection as a historic monument, where St. John wrote the Book of Revelations during his exile. Here we have an optional tour to see the fortified monastery of St. John and the cave claimed to be where John received the Revelation. Back on the ship to enjoy dinner before settling in to your cabin for the night. (B. D.)

Included is a walking tour to the old town of Rhodes - tour within its high walls and through the narrow, winding streets, visit the castle of the Grand Master of the Knights and many other gothic places are still in remarkably good condition. Balance of the day will be at leisure to explore this fascinating island. Return to the ship for dinner and evening entertainment. (B. L. D.)

Travel with Fr. Stephen Curry, O.S.A.

Day 8 / Thursday - July 03rd, 2014 Crete, SantoriniCrete is the largest and the most rugged of the Greek islands. The island was visited by St. Paul in 65 A.D. Take an optional tour to Heraklion and the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. This afternoon visit the island of Santorini which is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands. The town of Thira where white-washed houses, narrow streets, open-air cafes and glittering boutiques cling to steep cliffs is accessible by foot path, cable-car or mule. Round trip cable car transportation is included for visiting the island. Return to the ship for dinner and evening entertainment. (B. L. D.)

Day 9 / Friday - July 04th, 2014 Disembark Cruise – Athens We disembark the cruise this morning and departing for a rest stop and photos at the Corinth Canal and then travel to the ancient city of Corinth, another treat for the New Testament scholar. Corinth is the city that inspired many of Paul's most familiar letters. Return back to Athens, the foundation of democracy. We visit the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and Erectheum before viewing Athens atop Mars Hill where Paul stood and preached the truth to the Gentile nation. Additional sites include the Agora (ancient market place and center of Athenian public life), the House of Parliament, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Olympic Stadium, and Presidential Palace. Enjoy Dinner on your own in the Plaka (the old part of town). (B)

Day 10 / Saturday - July 05th, 2014Delphi / Meteora Monastery

From Athens, our tour travels northward to Delphi, where St. Paul warned the Christians not to follow Apollo, via Thebes, Levadia and Arachova. Arrive Delphi; visit the archaeological site and the museum. We continue to Kalambaka for dinner and overnight. (B. D.)

Day 11 / Sunday - July 06th, 2014 Meteora, Vergina, Veria, ThessalonicaWe continue through the mountains to Meteora. Here we visit TWO MONASTERIES and see the world famous Byzantine monasteries that are perched precariously on summits of gray rock pinnacles of varied and beautiful shapes. Their history goes back to the 14th century when the monks sought refuge in the cliff side caves then fled higher to build the original wooden shelters, later transformed into monasteries. Traveling

northward into Macedonia we visit King Phillip's (Alexander's father) tomb in Vergina, one of the most outstanding finds in all of Greece. A stop will be made in Berea to view the ancient synagogue where Paul spoke and the Bema surrounded by mosaics of Paul and the plaque of scripture regarding the "more noble" church. The New Testament books of I & II Thessalonians will come alive to us today as we arrive in the delightful harbor city of Thessalonica. En route to the hotel we will view the old city ramparts; the newly excavated Forum, St. George Church, an ancient Roman monument which was transformed into a church and the Galerius Arch which rises over the famous Via Egnatia. Dinner and overnight. (B. D.)• Mass that will be performed by Fr. Curry at a location nearby.

Day 12 / Monday - July 07th, 2014 Thessaloniki In the morning we continue our tour of Thessaloniki. St. Paul preached in Thessaloniki during the winters of 49-50AD and wrote two epistles to the ancient Thessalonians. The New Testament books of I & II Thessalonians will come alive to us today as we continue our tour of Thessaloniki. En route we will view the old city ramparts; the newly excavated Forum, St. George Church, an ancient Roman monument which was transformed into a church and the Galerius Arch which rises over the famous Via Egnatia, once a strategic artery of the Roman Empire. See the triumphal Arch of Galerius starting at the Via Egnatia the White Tower, the churches of Demetrius and Sophia, and the Roman forum. We then proceed to our hotel for dinner and overnight. (B. D.)

Day 13 / Tuesday - July 08th, 2014 Thessalonica/Philippi/KavalaWe begin the day by following the massive battlement Byzantine wall to the citadel for a panoramic view of the city. Next, we will visit Philippi and Kavala. Kavala is Greece's prettiest mainland port with a most elegant harbor. Paul landed here with his disciples, Timothy and Silas. Luke, the Evangelist, also came here from Troas. This ancient city of Neapolis was later renamed Christoupolis because it was the first European city to accept Christianity. Imagine walking on the same sod as these men of the Bible! We will see the Roman Aqueduct and the ruins of the Acropolis in this beautifully located city, known since the 5th century as Kavala. Continue on to Philippi where Paul preached his first evangelical sermon and baptized the first Christians on European soil. We will view the baptismal site where Lydia surrendered her life to Christ and visit a crypt dating from the Roman period that is thought to have served as a prison for Paul. See the famous Acropolis, the Market Place, Basilica, and the Theatre. We return to Thessalonica and visit St. Demetrius Basilica, dedicated to a distinguished member of the Roman army and a martyred Christian convert, before returning to the hotel for our final night. (B. D.)

Day 14 / Wednesday - July 09th, 2014 ReturnWe transfer to the airport for our flight back to the USA. (B.)

Spectacular Oia Village perched on the caldera rim $72.00 pp

Santorini’s jewels are endless. Already on board your luxurious cruise ship you will be

informed about the island and its particularities, its history and the places of interest. But

you are surely familiar with Oia and you must have seen its perfect sunset in countless post

cards, magazines etc. So, the destination of this excursion is the special, in cut cave

settlement of Oia, at the northern edge of the island.

Medieval tour - Acropolis of Lindos and the Citadel of the Knights $72.00 pp

Lindos, which is situated 55 km (40 miles) from the city of Rhodes, is more than just a

picturesque preserved village; it “bears” above it the Acropolis of Lindos, with the ancient

Temple of Athena, built in 300 B.C. This whitewashed village, in the south east of Rhodes,

looks as if it was painted by an artist. Traditional alleyways which connect the residences,

houses with decorated ceilings, plate adorned walls, paved little patios, ornamented with

pebbles.

Religious visit to St John's Monastery -Grotto of Apocalypse $59.00 pp

The intensely religious character of Patmos is diffused all through the island. There is

nothing tawdry, nothing dissonant or in discord on this island of the Aegean. Its serene

beauties are dispersed across all corners, yet even just the welcome of the visitor, as they

arrive from the much-frequented port of Scala, is enough. From this spot begins your

excursion. A sacred tour of the Monastery of St. John and the Grotto of the Apocalypse.

Special locations which have, for many years, brought to the island thousands of visitors for

pilgrimage, prayer, solemn vows and esoteric isolation.

Minoan Palace of Knossos - 1st European Civilization $64.00 pp

The ancient city of Knossos, with constant habitation from the Neolithic era until the 5th

century A.D., is beyond doubt the land that "gave birth" to the first civilization of Europe,

the Minoans. A fact that renders this Minoan settlement a “rich” destination, historically

and culturally, one of those that every traveler ought to visit at least once in their life.

I, the participant, am responsible for obtaining and carrying a current passport valid for 6 months after my return date and the appropriate visas for countries I am to visit if required. BLU DESTINATIONS, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, sponsors and organizations, and tour directors/escorts, along with any persons or entity employed or utilized by BLU DESTINATIONS, cannot be held responsible for any injury, loss, damage, accident, delay, or additional expense resulting from events beyond its control including - without limitation - acts of God, war, strikes, incidents of politically-motivated violence, sickness or quarantine, government restrictions or regulations, and (in the absence of its own gross negligence) events arising from the use of any vehicle or from BLU DESTINATIONS’s selection of, any bus or car rental agency, steamship, airline, railroad, taxi or tour service, hotel, restaurant, or other firm, agency, company, or individual.

BLU DESTINATIONS shall have the right - without refund- to send home, at his/her own expense and without escort, any participant who appears to have used drugs or abused alcohol, or engaged in any illegal or disruptive conduct, or any conduct that threatens the safety or integrity of the tour. No additional warranties, terms, or conditions apply to any program unless expressly stated in this brochure or stated in writing and signed by BLU DESTINATIONS BLU DESTINATIONS reserves the right to make changes in itineraries, travel arrangements, airlines, hotels, excursions, activities, ship assignments, cruise ports of call, or other arrangements made necessary by factors beyond its control. On certain dates when some attractions or activities may not be available, BLU DESTINATIONS reserves the right to substitute alternate attractions or activities. Such changes are not grounds for cancellation. BLU DESTINATIONS is not responsible for flight delays, missed connecting flights, long layovers, or any expenses related to such delays. BLU DESTINATIONS my cancel a given tour/program due to unforeseen reasons or other vendor related and condition reasons, in which case paying participants will be offered: (1) an alternate tour or departure date or (2) cancellation with full refund (less any insurance premiums paid). However, a change of departure date within the same weekend in the winter and spring or 11 days in the summer does not constitute grounds to cancel with a full refund. BLU DESTINATIONS and the air carriers have the right to substitute airlines, to make changes in the published itinerary (e.g. in the departure and arrival dates, times, or cities, or revising the order in which the various cities are visited), and I agree to accept any such changes. No refund will be made in the event of changes in the itinerary. BLU DESTINATIONS will attempt to furnish alternate service options for any such changes. Because some U.S. departure cities may not provide direct air service to overseas destinations, it may be necessary to connect through some other U.S. or foreign airport. BLU DESTINATIONS retains the right to determine all airline and flight routings. BLU DESTINATIONS is not responsible for typographical errors on invoices, itineraries, or any written material.

Those paying in full after the noted payment deadline or sending in late applications are subject to a $95 late fee. Notwithstanding any of the above price guarantees, all contract prices are subject to change without notice if BLU DESTINATIONS’s costs increase due to extreme fuel or currency fluctuations, or incidental charges resulting from increased local or foreign taxes, airport charges, airline security fees, and the like. Increased charges resulting in a price increase greater than 10% of the contract price will entitle participants to cancel and receive a full refund of all payments made. An increase of up to 10% of the contract price shall not constitute any right to cancel with refund of payments.
