Hatay (Antioch), where the term "Christians" was first used to refer to those who follow Jesus Christ, is a historically significant city for Christianity. The city, known for its massive walls, played a crucial role in the Crusades during the Middle Ages. Visitors to the city can explore Saint Peter's Church, ancient mosques, as well as Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant churches, and Jewish synagogues. Let's explore this rich Christian legacy together!

Itinerary

Our guide will pick you up early in the morning for the Daily Antioch Biblical Tour in the legendary city of Antioch. Antioch, which is situated at the meeting point of the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea, has long been revered as the birthplace of civilizations. The city, which Seleukos I, one of Alexander the Great's generals, founded in the fourth century BC, carries the influences of numerous historical cultures, which will be expertly explained throughout your tour. The military and geographical importance of Antioch's location has been crucial to its development. The city's proximity to the Spice Road, Silk Road, and King's Road has accelerated its economic growth, making it a competitor to Alexandria on its journey to becoming the capital of the Near East. Additionally, the city has served as a significant center for Hellenistic Judaism and Second Temple Judaism.


Our itinerary includes a visit to the Church of St. Peter, considered one of the earliest Christian churches. The Hatay Archaeological Museum, which has a sizable collection of carefully preserved mosaics and artifacts that provide insights into the area's rich history and culture, will then be our next stop. The Titus Tunnel in Seleucia Pieria (Samandag) is the final stop, and there we will dispel many myths and stories about early Christian-Roman relations. Seleucia Pieria is also the port from which Paul and Barnabas embarked on their first journey to Cyprus (Acts 13:4).
