De stappen van apostel Paulus: Privé dagtrip naar Philippi & Kavala
Beschrijving
Ga op een privédagtrip vanuit Thessaloniki om de Leeuw van Amfipolis, de archeologische wonderen van Philippi en de betoverende stad Kavala te verkennen. Ontdek Ottomaanse schatten, Byzantijnse muren en een levendige haven. Treed onderweg in de voetsporen van apostel Paulus, die in Filippi de eerste christelijke kerk op Europees grondgebied stichtte. Optioneel kunt u genieten van de smaken van lokale wijnen bij een nabijgelegen wijnmakerij. Wees klaar om het rijke erfgoed van Macedonië te onthullen en jezelf onder te dompelen in de culturele schatten van de regio.

Reisroute
Deze prachtige Leeuw bevond zich oorspronkelijk op de top van het Grote Graf in Amphipolis en werd ergens in het verleden verplaatst naar de huidige locatie, enkele kilometers verderop. weg van de grafsite.
De oude stad Filippi werd gevonden door de vader van Alexander de Grote, waar we de basiliek, het theater, het Forum Romanum, de cel waar apostel Paulus gevangen zat, maar ook de Octagon-kerk zullen bezoeken - de eerste christelijke kerk van Europa.
Na de archeologische vindplaats gaat u verder naar het Baptisterium van Sint Lydia, gelegen in een rustige natuurlijke omgeving aan de rivier de Zygaktis. Het is gewijd aan de eerste vrouw in Europa die door apostel Paulus werd gedoopt, en symboliseert het begin van het christendom in Europa. Een spiritueel belangrijke stop die het bezoek aan Philippi aanvult.
Eeuwenlang vermengden zich in de stad Kavala Byzantijnen, Ottomanen, Joden, kooplieden, tabaksarbeiders, vluchtelingen en intellectuelen en bloeiden. Hier in Macedonië ontmoetten de zeeroutes de Oost-West-as, waardoor beide elkaar kruisten. Je ziet de tabaksmagazijnen en elegante neoklassieke gebouwen herinneren aan het glorieuze verleden van de stad en vervolgens genieten van het heden met een maaltijd en een drankje in het levendige centrum onder het oog van het stadskasteel of rond de haven.

What a great way to spend the day visiting the archeological site of Philippi and the city of Kavala. We opted to not purchase the tour guide option which turned out just fine. The site offers a download audio guide with admission. Our driver, Antonis, was a gentleman and had a friendly and positive demeanor. The ride was very comfortable. He turned us on to some great Greek music and his lunch recommendation in Kavala was delicious. If you are looking for something outside of a normal tour, with a laid back vibe, I highly recommend.
