Embark on a tour in the beautiful land of Greece!
The “Biblical Greece” tour takes you on the footsteps of the Apostle Paul during his second missionary journey—from Neapolis and Philippi to Thessaloniki, Beroea, Athens, and Corinth. Along the way, you will visit authentic biblical sites and explore the historical context of Paul’s letters to the Philippians, Thessalonians, and Corinthians, bringing the Bible to life in its original settings.
Beyond the biblical landmarks, the tour also offers breathtaking coastlines, awe-inspiring landscapes, and the chance to savor authentic Greek cuisine, making this both a spiritual and cultural experience.
NOTE:
Our tour is physically active. We believe the best way to get to the heart of a city is on foot, surrounded by the people and the culture. For this reason, we do walking tours through most of the cities we visit. It will be a vigorous pace with a great deal of walking on ancient pavements, up and down stairs, and hilly terrain. Expect to be on your feet, walking and standing, indoors and outdoors, and in all weather conditions. It is not recommended for physically challenged travelers who need assistance walking or those with limited stamina or mobility.
All itineraries are subject to adjustment as required. Confirmed, final, and detailed itineraries (and additional important travel details) will be sent to your email, approximately one month from departure.
