Thessaloniki biblical tours: Footsteps of Saint Paul

The intertwinement of biblical Greece and early Christianity forms a profound narrative that continues to resonate through the ages. Pilgrimage tours to Greece provide an avenue for the faithful to immerse themselves in this narrative, experiencing firsthand the sacred geography that shaped the Christian ethos. In the footsteps of saints and scholars, pilgrims reminded that their faith is a living testament to a history that forever altered the course of humanity.

Saint Paul visited Greece on two of his missionary journeys, establishing some of the earliest Christian communities & churches in Europe. Biblical tours in Greece and early Christianity sites have gained popularity in recent years, as more and more travelers mainly from U.S.A express interest in exploring the true history and significance of Christianity in its early years.

The monastery is located on the upper part of the city, offering the best panoramic views of the city, Thermaikos gulf and mount Olympus.

Philippi biblical tour

After Saint Paul received the vision of the Macedonian call in Troas Timothy, Silas, and Luke joined him, so they set sail to the region of Macedonia. Saint Paul first landed in Neapolis, a small seaside village located on a natural port thus well protected by severe south winds from Aegean Sea, all year round. From Neapolis, which now called Kavala, Saint Paul and his companions walked approximately 15km to Philippi.

Philippi was the first city in Europe where Saint Paul preached the gospel. He established the very first Christian church in Europe and wrote his Epistle to the Philippians. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient city, including the Agora, the Roman Theater, the Basilica of Saint Paul, and the Lydia Baptismal Site. For more info, please click here

Berea biblical tour

Veria or Berea was the third important Macedonian city for Saint Paul in Northern Greece. He preached there and converted many locals (both Greeks and Jews) to Christianity. Today, pilgrims may explore the ruins of the ancient city, including the Agora, the Bema of Saint Paul and the old Jewish Synagogue.

The Bema or Altar is a raised platform where Saint Paul believed to have preached. The Apostle of the Nations was warmly welcomed since his first visit and his preaching had a great impact on Greeks and the Jews. Saint Paul’s passage through Berea or Veria and the impact of his preaching, indicates the significance of this Macedonian town at the first steps of early Christianity.
