7 Churches of the Apocalypse Tour

I was privileged to take this tour in 2020 during the pandemic. Except for Pamukkale, I pretty much had all the church ruins to myself. It was a blessed solemn experience. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and respectful. With God's blessing, surely I will return.
