During this trip we plan to visit an extensive list of archeological sites, covering a vast Egyptian history span, a Pharaonic Empire that lasted for nearly three thousand years. Our trip will include all of the iconic sites of Ancient Egypt, in addition to numerous side trips to lesser known, but equally fascinating sites. Another important component of our tour will be engagement with the legacy of the earliest Christian communities in Egypt. The golden treasure of monastic wisdom was produced in the eastern desert of Egypt, and we plan to visit some of the monasteries located in the area … [Read more...]
Ancient and Holy in Greece. October 6-17, 2025
All who journey to Greece discover something interesting, educational, and entertaining. Its roads were traveled not only by Ancient philosophers, warriors, and athletes, but also by the Apostles of our Lord, and countless saints of the succeeding centuries. Thus, to us Christians, a trip to Greece is also a pilgrimage, a chance to experience the earliest Christian communities established by the Apostles and often mentioned in the Bible. These ancient communities have flourished and survived, even until the present day. History and archaeology buffs will be inspired to see the mighty ruins of … [Read more...]
Cyprus: Journey of Faith and Beauty: October 1-12, 2025
This trip is truly a tour de force of the Byzantine Art and history of Cyprus.

This is one of our best-sellers, a true companion to our Holy Land Pilgrimage. The tragic history of the land and sad events of the past hundred years lead to very dismissive attitude to Turkey as a pilgrim and cultural destination. But I see that as a great injustice. That land is mightily important in the history of the Church, not only to the Orthodox, but to the Christian identity at large, not to mention that it is soaked with blood of our martyrs. Avoiding it under political pretext would be doing injustice to our past. A past that remains in very visible forms. We begin our journey in … [Read more...]
