Hierapolis, Philadelphia, Sardis, and Thyatira Day Tour – Breakfast and Lunch Included

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, you’ll begin a full-day journey exploring some of the most historically and spiritually significant sites in Western Turkey.

Your first stop is Hierapolis, where you’ll discover the ancient Asklepion healing center, the grand acropolis, the ancient theater, the Temple of Athena, and the Altar of Zeus—identified in the Book of Revelation as the “Throne of Satan.”

Following a scenic drive and lunch at a local restaurant, the tour continues to Thyatira, one of the Seven Churches of Revelation, known for its members’ steadfast faith and resistance to moral compromise.

Next, you’ll visit Sardis, the ancient capital of Lydia. Here you’ll explore the impressive Temple of Cybele and Diana, later converted into a church, as well as the beautifully preserved Jewish synagogue and Roman gymnasium—all testaments to the city’s diverse religious heritage.

Your final stop will be Philadelphia, a city founded during the reign of King Attalus II, known for its enduring Christian congregation and symbolic mention in the New Testament.

At the end of this enriching day, you will be transferred to your hotel in Bergama, where you can rest and reflect on the history you’ve walked through.
