Tours to Philippi for small groups. Private and guided (not group or joined) full day tours. Located 14 kilometers from the port of Neapolis, modern day Kavala and 170 kilometers from Thessaloniki, Philippi was a significant ancient Macedonian city. Founded by Philip II of Macedon in 356 BC, Philippi was strategically located on the Via Egnatia, a vital trade route connecting Europe and Asia. The city flourished as a Hellenistic center, boasting a theater, walls, and a temple.

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, our guests may explore the ruins of the ancient city, including the Agora, the Roman Theater, the Basilica of Saint Paul, Saint Pail’s prison cell and the Lydia Baptismal Site.

Despite Philippi having one of the oldest congregations in Europe, attestation of a bishopric dates only from the 4th century. Get to know more on Philippi’s amazing history and Saint Paul.
