Quick answer
After preaching in Perga they went down to the port of Attalia. Even on the return leg, the missionaries kept proclaiming the word.
Overview
Notably, they now preached in Perga, a city they had earlier passed through without recorded ministry (Acts 13:13-14). Their proclamation along the way shows a consistent commitment to spreading the gospel at every opportunity. From the seaport of Attalia they would sail back to their sending church.
