St. Paul preached at the Great Theater and the ruins of Ephesus' Basilica cover the tomb of Christ's most beloved disciple, St. John the Apostle. In Kusadasi, whitewashed stone houses rise in tiers beh... ### Day 4: Santorini **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Did the catastrophic volcanic eruption that ravaged Santorini circa 1600 B.C. destroy Crete's ancient Minoan civilization - and give birth to the myth of Atlantis?

Yet Messina emerged from that devastation with some of its historic treasures intact, ... ### Day 9: Naples, Italy **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Italy's third-largest city, Naples is a bustling metropolis famed for it stately buildings, crowded streets, pizza - and notoriously bad traffic.
