In the Footsteps of Paul: A Pilgrimage Through Greece(12days)

This pilgrimage through Greece invites travelers to walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, tracing a path through places where Scripture, history, and living faith continue to meet. From Athens and Thessaloniki to Philippi, Corinth, and Patmos, this journey is designed for those who seek not only to see Greece, but to encounter it prayerfully — through reflection, reverence, and a deeper awareness of the enduring spiritual legacy of the land.

Pilgrimage Highlights

Athens
Stand on Mars Hill and reflect on Paul’s witness in the intellectual heart of the ancient world. Visit the Acropolis, Areopagus, the Parthenon, the Acropolis Museum, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, where classical heritage and sacred memory remain powerfully intertwined.

Thessaloniki
Walk through one of the most significant cities of early Christianity in Greece. Thessaloniki offers a rich Christian and historical legacy through its ancient streets, churches, sacred monuments, and museum collections that preserve centuries of faith and civilization.

Kavala, Philippi & Lydia Park
Visit the region closely associated with the early spread of Christianity in Europe. Philippi and Lydia Park offer a particularly meaningful setting for prayer and reflection, while Kavala and the Church of Saint Nicholas connect the journey to the wider story of Christian witness in northern Greece.

Meteora
Lift your eyes toward the monasteries of Meteora, where prayer, silence, and devotion have endured for centuries. Suspended above the landscape, these sacred sites embody the spiritual ascent that lies at the heart of pilgrimage.

Delphi
Though known in antiquity as the center of the ancient Greek world, Delphi also offers a profound place for reflection on the relationship between classical civilization, spiritual longing, and the coming of a new faith.

Corinth
In Corinth, the biblical and historical dimensions of the journey come together with particular force. Explore Ancient Corinth, Cenchreae, Acrocorinth, the Corinth Canal, and the museum while reflecting on Paul’s ministry and the enduring significance of this city in early Christian history.

Patmos
End the pilgrimage on Patmos, the island sanctified by the Revelation of Saint John. Visit the Monastery of St. John the Theologian, the Grotto, and the holy sites of the island, entering a place where solitude, prayer, and revelation remain deeply present.
