Highlights
- Lion of Amphipolis - This magnificent Lion was originally located on the top of the Great Tomb at Amphipolis and at some time in the past was moved to its current location, several km. away from the Tomb site.
- The Archaeological Museum of Philippi - The ancient city of Philippi was found by Alexander’s the Great father, where we shall visit the Basilica, the theatre, the Roman Forum, the cell where Apostle Paul was imprisoned but also the Octagon Church- the first Chirstian church of Europe.
- Kavala - For centuries, in Kavala city, Byzantines, Ottomans, Jews, merchants, tobacco workers, refugees and intellectuals mingled and prospered. Here in Macedonia, the sea-routes encountered the East-West axis, cross-fertilising both. You will see the tobacco warehouses and elegant neoclassical buildings recall the city’s glorious past and then enjoy the present with a meal and a drink in its lively centre under the eye of the city’s castle or around the port.

Day trip to Kavala and Philippi following the footsteps of apostle Paul - It was a beautiful day trip from our hotel in Thessaloniki to the Kavala and the archeological site of philippi! Our personal driver and guide John is passionate with his job and the history of Macedonia and he gave us many information about the local history and specifically the footsteps of apostle Paul in northern Greece. We learnt a lot and had a enjoyable day with mr John!
