I happened to do a search on New Testament geography so as to find out the location of the churches to which Paul wrote his epistles to, as well as the 7 churches that Jesus spoke to in the book of Revelation.
Turns out that I could not find the city of Galatia, because Galatia was actually the name of an entire provincial region (just like Macedonia and Phonecia)!
Anyway, here is a map showing the location of the churches that Paul wrote his epistles to:
Rome
Corinth
Galatia
Ephesus
Philippi
Colossae
Thessalonica (in Macedonia, which is also where Berea was located)
The map also shows the location of the 7 churches that Jesus had messages for:
1 Ephesus
2 Smyrna
3 Pergamos
4 Thyatira
5 Sardis
6 Philadelphia
7 Laodicea
Rome is in modern-day Italy, Corinth, Philippi and Thessalonica are in modern-day Greece, while the other 10 are in modern-day Turkey. Hence a trip to the Holy Land may not be complete if one just visits Israel :-)
