DAY 1 - DEPART THE USA
Your pilgrimage begins as you depart the USA on your international flight. (Flight not included.)
DAY 2 - ARRIVE IN GREECE
You will arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece, where you will be met by our representative and transfer to your hotel for dinner and overnight. (D)
Day 3 – AMPHIPOLIS, PHILIPPI, and NEAPOLI (KAVALA)
Follow in the footsteps of Paul and Silas to Amphipolis and explore the ruins of the many Christian basilicas there. Today’s last stop is Neapolis (Kavala), one of Greece’s most picturesque mainland ports where Paul landed with his disciples, Timothy and Silas. See the Roman Aqueduct and Acropolis before returning to Thessaloniki for dinner and overnight. (B,D)
Day 4 – THESSALONIKA and VERIA (BEREA)
As you explore St. George’s Basilica, believed to be built over the synagogue where Paul preached, reflect on the two epistles the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church here. Follow the path of Paul when he fled Thessaloniki for the safety of Veria (Berea), where Jews and some honorable Greeks accepted the new faith (Act 17: 10-12). Continue on to Kalambaka for dinner and overnight. (B,D)
Day 5 – METEORA and DELPHI
As you visit the rock forest of Meteora (“in the heavens above”) in western Thessaly, imagine the apostle Paul walking that treacherous terrain on his missionary journey. Walk the Sacra Via to the Athenian Treasury, Theatre and the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle performed her prophetic rituals. As you consider the incredible amount of pagan influence just in Delphi alone, you will gain a new appreciation for the tremendous spiritual opposition the apostle Paul faced in preaching the Gospel of Christ here. Continue to Athens for overnight. (B,D)
Day 6 – CORINTH and CENCHRAEAE
Tour the city of Corinth, where the apostle Paul met fellow tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla and received a vision from the Lord saying, “I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city” (Acts 18: 10). Stop briefly at the port town of Cenchreae from which Paul later departed for Syria (Acts 18: 12-18). Return to Athens for dinner and overnight. (B,D)
Day 7 – RETURN TO USA
Return home with a new understanding of the apostle Paul’s life and ministry.
*Flight is not included. There will be pre-tour or post-tour options, including land travel or Mediterranean cruises should you want to spend some time in Athens or elsewhere after the tour.
