Days 1 & 2 - Getting There

Istanbul Spice Vendor


Whoever said “getting there is half the fun” never flew on a transatlantic flight. However, we’ve done our best to make this part of the trip as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Flight details will be handled by Educational Opportunities, our stateside travel agent and one of the largest Christian tour agencies in the world. We will leave from Seattle's SEATAC airport, though other gateway cities can be arranged.


We will arrive in Istanbul. As we pass through customs, you will be required to buy a tourist visa for $20. Don’t be put off; it costs a Turk $130 to get a visa to visit the USA.

Depending on our arrival time, we may take or short orientation tour of Istanbul, or head straight to our hotel to rest up for the first real day of touring.
