TJC Travel Group Taking Turkey Reservations
Tyler Junior College government professor and Fulbright scholar Dr. Manoucher Khosrowshahi is taking reservations for "Turkey: Biblical and Archeological Tour of Asia Minor," his annual 10- and 17-day travel-study tours, TJC officials announced.
Designed to enrich the American public's knowledge of early Christianity, archeology, Turkey and the Middle East, tour stops will include Istanbul, Ankara, Cappodocia, Konya, Termessos, Hierapolis, Assos, the Mediterranean Sea, Bosphorus, Canakkale, Dardanells, Ephesus, and Troy .
According to Khosrowshahi, more than half of the places referred to in the Bible are also located in modern day Turkey - from Tarsus, Ephesus, Antioch, Harran, Noah's landing on Mount Ararat in the east, to the Aegean coast in the west where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent her final mortal years and the Seven Churches of the Revelation.
The trips have been offered by TJC and Khosrowshahi for 19 years.
The all inclusive 10-day tour, scheduled for March 7-16, is $2,225 (tax included) for double occupancy and includes air and ground transportation, accommodations in four star hotels, two meals per day, professional, English speaking tour guides and all taxes, tips and fees.
Students will travel with a reduced cost of $2,075.
A deposit of $425 is required before Friday, Dec. 7; and full payment is due by Jan. 14.
A second, more extensive tour is planned for May 9 25, and will include stops on the Black Sea coast and Mount Ararat, as well as an optional one day tour into Syria.
Cost for the all inclusive 17 day tour is $3,550 double occupancy for the general public and $3,400 for students, and includes all transportation, accommodations, taxes tips and fees.
A deposit of $450 is required before March 1; and full payment is due by March 30, 2008.
Because of space limitations, enrollment for both of these tours is on a first come, first served basis. The tour is open to the public; however, TJC students may enroll in a special government course to receive three credit hours.
