Highlights St. Pauls’ footsteps & Prison, Kavala town & traditions

Outline

Depart via the New Egnatia motorway to the resort area of Asprovalta and continue your drive to Amphipolis for a visit of the Lion Statue. Then proceed to St. Lydias Baptistery where the first Christian Lady of Europe was baptized and continue to the Archaeological Site of Philippi, founded by Philip II King of Macedonia. It was here too where St. Paul set foot on the European Continent during his second missionary journey, establishing a thriving Christian church. The ruins include the Forum Romanum with its Basilica, St. Paul’s Prison and the Theater. The famous Egnatia road, which once ran from the Adriatic Sea to Constantinople, passed through this city.

Our next stop is Kavala (the ancient site of Neapolis) for lunch with traditional specialities and a city tour giving you the opportunity to view the St. Sylas Monastery named after one of St. Paul’s companions. Return to Thessaloniki in the early evening.
