Basilica of St. Titus
Gortyna, Crete
An ancient basilica marks the spot where St. Titus preached. Titus was a disciple of Paul and the recipient of the New Testament book named for him.

The Apostle Paul spent time in Corinth and later wrote two letters to the church there (1 and 2 Corinthians in the New Testament).
Monastery of St. John the Divine
Patmos
This powerful monastery is located near the site where the Apostle John received the apocalyptic visions that were recorded in the biblical Book of Revelation.
