The Apostle Paul’s Missionary Journey in Athens and Corinth – Greece

Experience Highlights

Step into the footsteps of one of Christianity’s most influential figures on The Apostle Paul’s Missionary Journey in Athens and Corinth – Greece. This full-day, faith-focused experience takes you on a powerful biblical and historical journey through two of the most spiritually significant cities of the ancient world—Athens and Corinth.

Departing from Athens, your private guide and driver will escort you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle through some of Greece’s most iconic biblical locations. This immersive tour is tailored for spiritual seekers, religious pilgrims, church groups, and travelers with a deep interest in the roots of early Christianity.

Your journey begins in Athens, the intellectual heart of the ancient world and the site where Paul famously preached to the philosophers and citizens of the city. Here, you’ll visit Areopagus Hill, also known as Mars Hill, where Paul delivered his compelling sermon about the “unknown god,” as recorded in Acts 17. Standing on the very ground where Paul engaged with Stoic and Epicurean thinkers, you’ll reflect on the apostle’s message about the living God and the resurrection.

Next, explore the ancient Agora, where Paul reasoned daily with those in the marketplace. Your guide will connect the ruins with the New Testament texts, giving you insight into the context of Paul’s ministry and how his presence influenced the spiritual atmosphere of the time. You’ll also enjoy exterior views of the Acropolis and Parthenon, giving you a deeper appreciation for the cultural and philosophical background against which Paul shared the gospel.

Leaving Athens behind, you’ll journey along the scenic Saronic Gulf en route to ancient Corinth, where Paul spent over 18 months establishing one of the early Christian communities and writing letters that would become part of the New Testament. Along the way, your guide will share stories about Paul’s travels and the challenges he faced as he spread the gospel in both Jewish and Gentile communities.

Upon arrival in Corinth, you’ll walk through the impressive archaeological site, exploring ruins that include the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Agora, and most notably, the Bema—the judgment seat where Paul likely stood trial before Gallio, the Roman proconsul. This moment brings scripture to life as you imagine the courage it took to proclaim a radical new message in a bustling, polytheistic city.

Your visit to Corinth is further enriched by a stop at the Archaeological Museum, home to artifacts that bring Paul’s Corinthian letters to life. Your expert guide, trained in both archaeology and theology, will explain how the city’s complex mix of paganism, commerce, and early Christian values played into Paul’s teachings. You’ll gain a stronger understanding of the moral and social context behind the First and Second Epistles to the Corinthians.

Continue on to Cenchreae, the eastern port of Corinth mentioned in Romans 16, where Paul is believed to have departed for Syria and where Phoebe, the deaconess, was a prominent member of the church. The peaceful harbor offers a quiet moment to reflect on the apostle’s mission and legacy.

Throughout the tour, enjoy insightful commentary that weaves together scripture, history, and local culture. There will be opportunities to pause for prayer, discussion, and photos at key locations. For your comfort, the experience includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Athens, bottled water, and optional lunch stops at local tavernas where you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine.

This tour is fully customizable and operates with private transportation, ensuring a relaxed and personal pace. Whether you’re a pastor, a church group leader, a student of theology, or a spiritually curious traveler, this journey will provide a deep and authentic connection to Paul’s missionary work.
