Joos van Ghistele (ca. 1446 in Ghent – ca. 1525) was a Flemish nobleman who spent four years (1481–1485) travelling around in the Middle East and southern Europe, including Italy , Greece , the Balkans , Tunisia , the Levant , Egypt and the Red Sea all the way down to Aden .
His accounts were edited by Ambrosius Zeebout , priest, and posthumously published in 1557 as Tvoyage van Mher Joos van Ghistele , with many later republications. Three editions in Ghent alone (1557, 1563, 1572) in fifteen years show that the book attained considerable popularity in Flanders.
