Turkey offers tourists a glimpse into early Christian life

Turkey offers tourists a glimpse into early Christian life - 03/21/2008 - MiamiHerald.com
Roughly 70 percent of the sites mentioned in the New Testament -- places like Tarsus, Ephesus, Antioch, Galatia -- are located in present day Turkey, the area where Paul spent almost 20 years working to spread Christianity to non-Jewish residents of the region.

These historic sites, as well as the country's beaches, liberal culture and reputation for safety have made Turkey a favorite vacation spot for Europeans and a growing tourist hub over the last decade.
