A Perfect Ending to a Fantastic Trip.

Ellen Carpenter, May 2024

As we come to the end of our trip in the Steps of Paul in Greece and Turkey, I want to share some of the little extras that are always a part of any trip. The beautiful sights of the country side, the skills of the talented artists and some of my favorite photos.

Our ship for three day journey to Turkey, Crete and Santorini.

The Arts

Cameos from Corinth

The cats of Ephesus
Greek Oleander bushes were planted all along the highways.
Mountains surrounding Philippi. Traveling over the mountains would have been difficult and most travel in Greece by Paul was probably by ship in the Aegean Sea.

Standing Rocks of Kastraki, Greece

Extra…

Gasoline prices are in Euros and are for one liter of gasoline. That makes the price of 7.03 Euros per gal. No wonder they drive small cars (see below)

As I close this journey, I thank you for reading and hope that your adventures take you to some of the exciting places that the Lord has given us to enjoy!
