PAUL'S JOURNEY TO ROME
A Malta and Italy Tour by Sea and Land!
2024 Malta and Italy Tour
Join the adventure and trace the Apostle Paul’s faithful footsteps to Rome! To begin, you will visit the site of Paul’s shipwreck on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Next, you will take a boat ride across the sea to Sicily as you follow Paul’s sea voyage and port landing. Finally, you will continue on to Italy’s mainland to follow Paul’s path all the way to the Eternal City where you will see the traditional sites of his imprisonment and death. Your journey into Rome will even include a walk on-foot via the picturesque 2,000 year old Appian Way – just as the Apostle Paul would have entered the city!
Your itinerary is also packed-full of other amazing experiences! You will visit places such as the breathtaking island of Capri, the frozen-in-time city of Pompeii, the Vatican, the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, the renaissance-rich city of Florence, the beautiful Tuscan countryside, the Leaning Tower of Pisa — plus so much more! I look forward to seeing you in Malta and Italy as we live God’s Biblical Word together in Christian community!
