Religious Travel in the art of comfort and flexibility... It is like walking and running. The simple difference is that when you walk you see and enjoy the entire scenery but when you run you miss a lot of things that is actually standing right in front of you.  Maybe the visit of Biblical sites is your dream that one day you would like to make it true by planning it a month or tens of years in advance. This could also be the first and the last chance. So why to rush.... Imagine that you finally figured out a certain date and joined one of such a tour that has trying to show you as much as it can and therefore your days are filled with many historical sites a man can really take no more. You end up at your hotel bed exhausted. Now try to remember how many museum, sites and etc you have visited and which one of the information you had heard from your guide remained in your mind. Do you still remember if it was the second or the third journey of St. Paul that he stayed in Ephesus for three years. We bet you don't. Now, lets talk about the reality. First you need to ask your self this question "what am I going for?". This question has three answers. The first one is "well, I just want to go because of just to go", the second one is "I want to go but I am limited with time and I will do my best to learn as much as I can-if I can!" and here is the third one "I will go and learn it". Does it sound like the phrase mentioned in the first paragraph of this article; "walking and running". Take your time, enjoy it. If it looks like the only chance to visit this country for this purpose, at least for the short term, try to combine it also with other possible interests such as couple of days gullet riding along the Turkish coasts at the end of your tour, add ballooning in Cappadocia if your itinerary takes you there... Do not forget, St. Paul walked thousands of kilometers to achieve his duty, now we cover those distances with planes in half an hour time without any sweat on our forehead. Meander Travel Staff.
