Bible land trips.. worth it?

[Hotteok]

Such as those Paul visited to preach..

or famous areas in Israel.

I know a brother-run travel company that offers trips to such Biblical lands

But it’s too far and wide and extensive.. must be super tiring.

Or maybe I could try and go there on my own.

Anyone tried and is it worth it?

I haven't been personally, but I have a funny story about a trip following the footsteps of Paul, and involving one of my close friends a few years ago.

The tour got to Turkey, and she went to the bazaar. A stall holder took a shine to her, and offered to make her his 3rd wife! He was really disappointed at her distinct lack of enthusiasm 😂

I had to look in an English dictionary to understand ‘stall holder’ and ‘take a shine to’ and haha

reminded me of what I learned a few days ago.. although this is in Italy, not Turkey,

under APPIUS, MARKETPLACE OF of the insight book.

 

A marketplace 64 km (40 mi) SE of Rome. It was a well-known station on the famous Roman highway Via Appia, running from Rome to Brundisium (now called Brindisi) by way of Capua. Both the road and the marketplace draw their name from the founder, Appius Claudius Caecus, of the fourth century B.C.E.As the usual point at which travelers halted at the close of the first day’s journey out of Rome, this post station became a busy trading center. Adding to its importance was its location at the northern terminus of a canal that ran alongside the road, traversing the Pontine Marshes. Travelers reportedly were conveyed over this canal by night in barges pulled by mules. The Roman poet Horace describes the discomforts of the journey, complaining of the frogs and gnats and depicting the Marketplace of Appius as crammed with “boatmen and stingy tavern-keepers.”—Satires, I, V, 1-6
