FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST.PAUL
This tour follows the footsteps of St Paul in his second trip to Greece, mainly Athens and Corinth.
We visit the Acropolis, below which is Areios Pagos (the hill of Ares): there, we read the original text of the speech of St. Paul about the “Unknown God”.
Then, we drive around Athens to visit some of the sites that St Paul would have seen at that time (the Temple of Zeus, the Agora, The Temple of Efestus, etc) as well as some of the most important sites of modern Athens (Olympic Stadium, Old University, National Library, etc).
After that, we leave Athens and drive along the coastline for about an hour towards Corinth. We make a small stop at the famous Corinth Canal for pictures.
Then we drive to Ancient Corinth where St Paul lived for more than one year. There he worked with Aquila and his wife Priscilla and preached to the Corinthians. We visit the Roman market, the impressive Temple of Apollo, the Archaeological Museum, the Theatre.
This tour lasts about 8 hours.
