Antioch of Pisidia: Paul’s First Missionary Stop
Acts context on site
Guides read Acts 13 where Paul and Barnabas speak in the synagogue and then to Gentiles. The archaeology is Roman colonial city fabric — aqueduct, temple platform, church remains — not a reconstructed synagogue you can enter like a museum set.
What to expect on the ground
A quieter inland site than Ephesus or Pergamon. Allow two to three hours with walking and Scripture stops. Combine with Iconium/Konya region or Lake district routing on custom quotes — we do not invent a second Antioch product for every spelling variant.
Not Antioch on the Orontes
Antioch of Pisidia (Asia Minor inland) is not Antakya/Hatay (ancient Antioch on the Orontes). Tell us which Antioch you mean when you write /contact. Paul hub: /paul-missionary-journey-turkey.
