Philippi - In the steps of St. Paul Private Experience - 7 hrs

About this activity

This private guided experience is unique for the North of Greece visitors, who are interested to see and hear where Christianity all started in Europe and the rest of the world. It is a must-see attraction when travelling in the Steps of St. Paul. Philippi site is also included in the UNESCO World Heritage list and excavations are still going on in this vast site. The ancient theatre of Philippi is used in summertime for the summer Philippi festival plays and concerts today.

The Baptistry of St. Lydia & St. Paul by the same waterstream where Lydia, the first Christian of Europe was baptised, is a fabulous chapel covered with mosaics and wall paintings telling us the story, as it's found in the Apostles' Act 16 of the Bible.

After a short lunch break at Philippi, there is an add-on option to prebooked upon request:

Drive to an awarded winery for a tour & tasting at an additional cost for 1,5 hour extra.
