“And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.”
When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. - The journey continues westward: 'across the open sea' (diapleoō, diapleoō-'sail across') past Cilicia and Pamphylia, reaching Myra (a major port in Lycia). Luke's geographic specificity has been validated by modern archaeology and nautical knowledge: his itinerary reflects actual sea routes of the first century.
