"...to understand the early days you should pass through severe trial..."

Paul was a devout
Jew who became one of the most important Christian missionaries. Born
in Tarsus, he studied in Jerusalem in his youth. While persecuting
Christians, he experienced an encounter with the risen Christ on the
road to Damascus. Afterward, he proclaimed the gospel message. He
worked for a time in Antioch in one of the church's most important
outreach ministries.
St. Paul Route, following Apostle Paul's First Missionary Journey, runs some 500 km, starting from just east of Antalya, into the lake district of Turkey. It passes through some of the greenest parts of Taurus mountains where natural pine, cedar, oak and juniper forests are abound. Then it descend onto the Lakes district with its fertile plains full of fruit trees and fields. Untouched by time, the pastoral life style, the richness of history, the beauty of the nature and diversity of wild life gives this area almost everything a trekker would like to encounter on a bicycling trip. It follows some of the Roman roads used by St Paul on his journey from Perge, on the south coast, to Antioch in Pisidia, near Lake Egirdir.
The Turkish Lakes are a series of huge shallow lakes trapped between the folds of the northern Taurus mountains and the Sultan mountains. At an average altitude of 1000m, they are surrounded by peaks which rise to 3000m. On their shores are the old Selcuk towns of Beysehir, Egirdir and Burdur, and many small villages and summer pastures overlook their tranquil waters. Often frozen in winter, the lakes are a haven for migrating birds, and the surrounding meadows and marshes support a huge mix or orchids and other wild flowers, as well as apple orchards in abundance. Best times to visit are in spring/summer from mid-May to end September, when the weather is almost guaranteed perfect and the water is warm enough for swimming.
