Apostle Paul steps journey is an unforgettable trip through ancient Greece.

“When they arrived in Thessaloniki in the fall of 49, Apostles Paul and Silas found a city that was completely different from what they had seen before. It was a city free from Roman occupation since 168 B.C., and there was a synagogue near the port where Apostle Paul spent three consecutive Saturdays preaching.”

While in Troas, Apostle Paul had a dream of a tall, impressive Macedonian man urging him to “come to Macedonia and help them.” In the winter of 49, Apostle Paul landed on European soil for the first time in Neapoli. Apostle Paul and Silas faced accusations in Philippi but were miraculously freed by an earthquake. Veria, a bustling city with a flourishing synagogue, welcomed Paul and Silas with great interest as they preached the Holy Gospel. Your journey will take you to the ancient region of Philippi, where the Apostle Paul established the first Christian Church in Europe.

In Corinth, a city that inspired many of Apostle Paul’s most familiar letters, you will immerse yourself in the treasures of the Archaeological Museum, the vibrant Market Place, the historic Bema where Apostle Paul speaks, and the ancient Temples.

This tour includes visiting world-famous sites of Classical Greece and famous Greek Islands.

Discover Athens and walk through a mix of flavors, cultures, and contrasts, and take the opportunity to admire the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum. Discover the sacred ancient and Christian sites of Mycenae and the theatre of Epidaurus, ancient Olympia and Delphi, and the holy rocks of Meteora.

Whether you’re looking to relax on picturesque islands with unspoiled sandy beaches or stimulate your senses in places that have marked ancient history, we can help you experience it all. Mykonos has hilltops studded with windmills, endless rolling hills, and beaches that glitter – a photogenic island from every angle. Approaching Rhodes island by sea is an experience all of its own. The clifftop Acropolis at Lindos rises slowly from the still blue waters, evoking the ancient Colossus which once adorned the harbor, and modern hillside villages lay in the shadow of the imposing medieval fortification. Stepping foot on the island of Patmos you’ll be bowled over by its ageless, touching presence – villages appear undisturbed for centuries and its natural volcanic beauty captivates and absorbs all your attention. Patmos is also steeped in history: where architecture remains a testament to Greek, Roman and Byzantine influences. And legends say that St John was inspired to write the Book of Revelations here. You have the opportunity to visit Heraklion the city of myths, ancient civilizations, and world-renowned artists – Heraklion lives and breathes culture. Catch your breath and prepare to be seduced by Santorini.  The island will greet you with its striking cliffs, promising adventure and legendary tales.
