Don’t miss the chance to take one of my Greek Heritage Tours of Asia Minor!
Since 2018, I’ve been organizing and leading open-group and private Greek heritage tours of Asia Minor as well as cultural, casual, historic, and religious tours of Turkey and Greece.
As a Greek-American with ancestry in Asia Minor, as well as extensive travel and having lived for almost 4 years in Turkey, I can provide a unique experience for anyone interested in the Greek heritage of the region.
Tours are available through my travel company, Paisadventure, on a private basis. This allows you to adjust your itinerary, keep it closed to travel with friends or family, and choose the dates that work best for you. If you’d like to offer this tour or other variations for a large group or organization, please contact me.
2025 Greek Heritage Tour of Asia Minor
This year’s trip includes Constantinople, Cappadocia, the footsteps of St. Nicholas, the 7 Churches of Revelation (Ephesus, Laodicea, Pergamon, Philadelphia, Thyateira, Sardis, and Smyrna), and Smyrna’s transition to Izmir.
- Learn about the ancient Greek, Early Christian, Byzantine, and post-Byzantine history of Asia Minor.
- Visit places associated with the rise of Christianity in the region to understand their lasting impact on today’s Orthodox Church.
- Introduce yourself to the complicated relationship between Anatolian Greeks and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, Ottoman Empire, and modern Turkish Republic.
- Walk through sites related to the Greek Genocide and Population Exchange of 1923.
- Delve into the similarities and differences of Turkish and Greek cuisine.
- Visit 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites and a further 6 on the tentative list.
Tours are limited to only 4 people, allowing for a more relaxed experience and more time at each site. You also have the opportunity to see much more than what you would on a large group tour. We will stay in small locally-owned boutique hotels and all transportation is in a private car. Pre- and post-tour extensions to other locations in Turkey or Greece are possible.
Contact me for pricing. Expect it to be between $5250-$5750 per person (based on 4 people), excluding international airfare. Cash discounts are available. Reserve your spot with a $200 refundable deposit.
This is a unique opportunity and you will not find this itinerary anywhere else.
