Philippi - Sulle orme di St. Paul Private Experience - 7 ore
Descrizione
Questa esperienza guidata privata è unica per i visitatori del Nord della Grecia, che sono interessati a vedere e sentire dove tutto il cristianesimo è iniziato in Europa e nel resto del mondo. È un'attrazione imperdibile quando si viaggia nella scalinata di San Paolo. Il sito di Philippi è anche incluso nella lista del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO e gli scavi sono ancora in corso in questo vasto sito. L'antico teatro di Filippi è utilizzato in estate per le rappresentazioni estive del festival di Filippi e concerti oggi. Il Battistero di Santa Lidia e San Paolo presso lo stesso corso d'acqua dove Lidia, la prima cristiana d'Europa fu battezzata, è una favolosa cappella ricoperta di mosaici e pitture murali che ci raccontano la storia, come si trova nell'Atto degli Apostoli 16 della Bibbia. Dopo una breve pausa pranzo al Philippi, c'è un'opzione aggiuntiva da prenotare in anticipo su richiesta: Guida a una cantina premiata per un tour e degustazione a un costo aggiuntivo di 1,5 ore extra.

Itinerario
Sarai guidato attraverso l'antica città di Filippi, con resti di tutti i periodi della sua storia, incl. periodo greco antico, romano e paleocristiano. Filippi è uno dei più grandi scavi della Grecia e uno dei più importanti per i cristiani di tutto il mondo per il suo legame religioso con San Paolo, che predicò qui nel 49 d.C.
Questa bella cappella dedicata a Santa Lidia - il primo cristiano battezzato da San Paolo in tutta Europa - e allo stesso San Paolo si trova proprio accanto al torrente Angitis, noto per i battesimi di San Paolo del periodo romano dei Filippesi. Oggi è usato per i battesimi dei bambini e presenta decorazioni uniche in mosaico e marmo.
Una sosta fotografica lungo il tragitto verso Filippi al famoso IV sec. Memoriale del leone in marmo di BCE sul fiume Strymon per gli ospiti che iniziano il tour da Salonicco

Vasilis was very informative and courteous for the day.
Very nice tour with a very competent guide. She gave us a lot of information. Thank you for that.
Vielen Dank! Ich bin froh das privat Philippi Tour hat Ihnen gefallen, liebe Sabine.
We wanted a biblical context which Efi provided. She waa very knowledgeable. Our driver was great. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this excurtion with your friends and family.
Thanks a lot, dear Gloryjean! It was my pleasure to be your private guide.
Efi was amazing!! She explained every historical detail and religious significance of our stops in a way of making the experience as if we were there in ancient times. She was very patient and kind with a great sense of humor as well. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and she made it truly special. If you want a private tour with someone who is a seasoned expert Efi is the perfect choice!
Wow! Thanks for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed my Philippi tour. God bless you!
Ms. Efi was fantastic. She commanded the historical knowledge, and was extremely insightful, not only from Thessaloniki (urban history and culture within the city), but also across the drive from Thess to Kavala, Lydia, and Philippi. Highly recommend this tour. Although Philippi is not as sprawling (excavated as much) as Ephesus, I would imagine it is only 10% uncovered. St. Paul's prison is reachable and well marked, preserved, and maintained. We had lunch there, at a small eatery on the adjacent driveway to the UNESCO Philippi site. A wonderful breeze, lush grassy (shaded) restful location, after slow stroll thru the compound for about an hour (take water on your walk !!). Ensure you visit "Lydia" only 4 mins from Philippi - Lydia is the first person (a woman) baptized in the Western Hemisphere by St. Paul. A beautify Cathedral (St. Lydia), and a beautiful stream in the rear, where she was baptized - a great fascinating place to see. Kavala is a cool town, with a beautiful waterfront - an important strategic and historical port city in many historical contexts... Thank you Ms. Efi for a fantastic journey to the Eastern Edge of Macedonia, walking in St. Paul's footsteps. Highly recommend!! Thank you Ms. Efi. We will be back!
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed my private tour in the Steps of St. Paul.
It was a great visit to Philippi and Kavala, and the tour guide was excellent. Visiting the sites of St. Paul's missionary journeys has been a lifelong dream, and this trip brought it all to life. I am at a loss for words to describe the personal experience, and the tour guide's explanations made the trip worthwhile.
Great, thanks a lot for your kind words, Peter! Good to hear you had a memorable experience. Efi
Our trip was incredible! Efi was our tour guide and our driver was Dimitris. Efi made our day with her knowledge, insider/local info and her friendliness. We were able to see everything that we wanted to and shared a dinner at the best local seaside. We tried new foods too. Our emphasis was Paul's time in Philippi and we had the BEST guide to fulfil our dream. We are thankful for the extra attention we received! After spending the day together, I feel we parted as friends! We definitely will choose EFI again! Thank you Dimitris for our day of safe driving too!
Wow! I'm really happy you enjoyed your private tour with me in the steps of St. Paul. Local food tasting is always one of the important parts of any tour I'm happy to recommend to my guests.
Efi. was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job explaining where we were going and what we were seeing! We went from Thessaloniki to Philippi and the countryside was beautiful! Our cruise line wasn’t clear how long we would be there until we boarded the boat but she kept in contact with us and was very helpful to insure we could see what we wanted to while there! She also took us to Kavala where we experienced local food near the ocean! I would highly recommend!
Huge thanks, dear Cindy! I'm always happy to have happy guests who enjoy my guided tours!
So happy we decided on this tour. Our guide, Efi was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. She definitely made the tour worthwhile! We were having trouble with lost luggage and she even made calls to help with that. The driver was also very friendly and kept us hydrated with cold bottled water! I would definitely recommend this tour!!!
Thanks a lot for your kind words, dear Elizabeth! I'm happy you enjoyed your private tour with me! I hope the luggage arrived!
We are happy to have had Efi guide us at Philippi and Kavala. She is very knowledgeable, detailed and patient in responding to our questions. Thank you Efi.
Thanks a lot for the great review! I'm happy you enjoyed the trip in the Steps of St. Paul to Philippi & Kavala.
