Paul
stopped at Myra during his journey to Rome. The port of Myra, Andriace
which supplied grain and water to Roman Word had great granaries and
cisterns. Here the custodian of the prioners (one of them was Saint Paul)
found a vessel carrying corn to Italy.
Myra is one of the
coastal ancient cities which Paul, Luke and Aristarcus visited ( Acts
27:5-6). It was in Myra they changed boats on their way to Rome. Roman
centurion Julius found a ship from Alexandria heading to Rome by the way
if Cnidos, another important coastal town in the north.
