I would like to go on Paul's missionary trips on a tour of the Near East (I'm a US citizen).
However, I am not sure what visas are needed (and will likely have to avoid Syrian Antioch, seeing that they are in the middle of a civil war right now).
What visas are necessary to visit Crete, Turkey, Cyprus, Malta, Greece, and Italy?
What would be the best order to visit the cities \ regions in [especially] Turkey to minimize travel time and be able to maximize the visit \ site-seeing time?
Best Answer
Visas depend on your citizenship. Assuming you're a British citizen, it is unlikely that you'd need a visa to any of the countries (except for maybe Syria that you're going to skip anyway, and Lebanon - not familiar with their reqs) for a visit.
Also, you will not be able to travel directly from Tyre (Lebanon) to Nazareth or Caesaria (Israel). You'll have to go through a third neutral country, as Lebanon and Israel are at war. You'd better go to Lebanon first, otherwise if you go first to Israel - ask them not to stamp your passport.
