Day 1

Airport – Athens – Corinth
Arrive in Athens at 13:40. Visit Corinth and Cenchreae. Overnight in Athens.
Paul stayed in Corinth for one year and six months which was the longest stop
during his second missionary journey. In those days, Corinth was a
prosperous metropolis, yet also a city of moral corruption.

Day 2

Athens – Meteora
Morning tour of Athens. In the afternoon, depart for Meteora. Overnight in
Meteora. The towering, dark rock pillars rising straight from the ground stand
like a stone forest, forming a landscape crafted by the hand of nature.
Meteora is unique for its monasteries perched high on the isolated rock cliffs.
These breathtaking monasteries, along with the challenging routes for hiking
and climbing, attract countless visitors. The monks once carved out hidden
chambers in these steep rocks and lived a secluded monastic life. Many of the
caves used by the monks as dwellings can still be seen on the cliff faces
today.

Day 3

 Meteora – Berea (Veria) – Thessaloniki
Morning tour of Meteora. In the afternoon, visit Berea—today’s town of Veria.
A small park has been built here to commemorate Paul, containing a
monument and images depicting his preaching. Afterwards, drive to present-
day Thessaloniki. Overnight in Thessaloniki.

Day 4 

Thessaloniki – Philippi – Amphipolis – Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece, an important port, cultural
center, and strategic transportation hub. During the Roman Empire, it was the
capital of the province of Macedonia. Paul arrived in Thessaloniki from Philippi
during his second missionary journey, preaching the gospel here; and during
his third journey, he returned again to strengthen the believers.
Amphipolis:
Amphipolis appears for the first and only time in the Bible in Acts 17:1. When
Paul and Silas set out on their second missionary journey, responding to the
“Macedonian call,” they entered Europe. Amphipolis was the first city they
passed through on their way from Philippi to Thessaloniki. It was also a
Roman military station on the Via Egnatia. The most famous remaining
monument of ancient Amphipolis is the Lion of Amphipolis, a stone
sculpture created in the 2nd or 3rd century BC, likely in honor of Laomedon, a
friend of Alexander the Great and governor of Syria.
