Apostle John, one of the important figures of early Christianity, faced exile from Asia Minor to Patmos in 95 AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Domitianus. This event had a significant impact on the world of faith, providing the ideal environment for the writing of the Book of Revelation. Around 96 AD, while living on the Island of Patmos, located approximately 50 nautical miles southwest of Ephesus and 33 nautical miles west of Miletus. The exile of the Apostle John to Patmos and the subsequent writing of the Book of Revelation stands as a pivotal moment in Christian history, demonstrating the power of faith even in the face of difficulties.

Where did Apostle John die?
It is said that the Apostle John, one of the important figures in the history of Christianity, lived a long life and eventually died of natural causes in Ephesus around 98 AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan. Remarkably, he was the only apostle who was not martyred, while the remaining eleven faced persecution and lost their lives for their faith. Four centuries after the burial, Byzantine Emperor Justinian sought to honor the memory of the Apostle John by ordering the construction of a large church over his burial site in Ephesus. This magnificent structure, known as the Basilica of St. John, still stands today in Selcuk, a charming town in western Turkey. Built to commemorate the apostle's life and teachings, the basilica is a testament to the enduring legacy of John the Apostle and his significant contributions to the spread of Christianity.

I am interested in a 3 day tour of the 7 churches with medium hotel accommodations and being able to start, stay and leave when we are ready in any location. What would be the cost of this and what is included in such a tour. I would not want to spend 2 hours on a lunch break---can your driver handle little down time.

My sister and I would like to do the 7 churches tour. We do not have much time and do not want to do too much travelling around. Would it be possible to book your tour from a hotel in Izmir? We will be arriving on May 18 or 19 in Izmir.
