THE TRIP TOWARD ROME

Paul began his 2,000-mile trip to Rome at Caesarea. To avoid the open seas, the ship followed the coastline. At Myra, Paul was put on a vessel bound for Italy. It arrived with difficulty at Cnidus, then went to Crete, landing at the port of Fair Havens. The next stop was Phoenix (Phenice), but the ship was blown south around the island of Clauda, then drifted for two weeks until it was shipwrecked on the island of Malta (Melita).
