The Apostle Paul’s Missionary Journey | Athens & Corinth, Greece

Experience Highlights

Walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul on this inspiring full-day journey through two of the most important cities in early Christianity. The Apostle Paul’s Missionary Journey in Athens and Corinth offers a powerful blend of biblical history, archaeology, and spiritual insight—all guided by experts who connect scripture to place.

Your day begins in Athens, where the Apostle Paul preached his famous sermon about the “unknown God,” as recorded in Acts 17. After hotel pickup in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, you’ll head to Areopagus Hill (Mars Hill), where Paul boldly shared the gospel with Athenian philosophers and scholars. Standing where he once stood, you’ll reflect on his message of divine truth and the resurrection, spoken at the heart of a society steeped in idol worship.

From there, you’ll visit the ancient Agora, once the bustling marketplace where Paul debated with the locals. With the help of your private guide—trained in both biblical history and archaeology—you’ll explore these sacred ruins while hearing stories from the New Testament that connect directly to what you see before you. As you view the Acropolis and Parthenon from a distance, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the philosophical and religious challenges Paul faced when bringing the Christian message to the intellectual capital of the ancient world.

Leaving Athens, the journey continues along the scenic Saronic Gulf, offering stunning coastal views on your way to Corinth. This once-powerful Roman city was home to one of the early Christian communities established by Paul, where he ministered for over 18 months. As you arrive at the ancient site, your guide will lead you through significant locations including the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Agora, and the Bema seat—believed to be the very place where Paul stood trial before Gallio, the Roman proconsul (Acts 18).

At each step, biblical passages come alive. You’ll hear about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, filled with teachings that addressed moral, cultural, and theological challenges unique to this wealthy, diverse port city. The tour includes a visit to the Corinth Archaeological Museum, where artifacts reveal the daily life and spiritual complexity of Paul’s audience.

The experience deepens with a stop at Cenchreae, the eastern port of Corinth. Mentioned in Romans 16, this is the place where Paul likely set sail for Syria and where Phoebe, the deaconess, played an important role in the early church. The quiet harbor and serene views provide space for contemplation and prayer—an ideal moment to consider Paul’s enduring legacy.

Throughout The Apostle Paul’s Missionary Journey, your guide will offer thoughtful commentary that connects scripture with historical context, allowing you to gain both spiritual and intellectual insight. There are plenty of opportunities to pause for prayer, take photos, ask questions, or simply soak in the sacred atmosphere.

This private tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Athens, comfortable transportation, bottled water, and optional stops for a traditional Greek lunch at a local taverna. The experience is fully customizable, making it suitable for pastors, church groups, seminary students, families, or any traveler with an interest in Christian history.

Whether you’re deepening your personal faith or exploring the cultural roots of Christianity, this journey provides an unforgettable encounter with Paul’s mission, message, and courage. You’ll leave with a stronger connection to the New Testament and the spiritual movements that changed the world.
