Thyatira (Akhisar) – Rev. 2:18–29: “To the one who is victorious… I will give authority.” Once a dye-trading hub, Thyatira’s modest ruins speak of a community called to faithfulness.

Day 2 – Sardis, Philadelphia & Hierapolis
Sardis – Rev. 3:1–6: “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up!” Once Lydia’s capital, famed for gold and textiles, see the Temple of Artemis and the grand synagogue.
