Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Comece seu passeio na Agora, o coração vibrante da antiga Atenas. Este foi o centro da cidade para política, comércio, vida social e religião. Quando o apóstolo Paulo chegou a Atenas, ele veio aqui para se envolver com filósofos e pensadores, compartilhando a mensagem do cristianismo em meio aos debates animados e intercâmbios culturais que definiram este lugar histórico de reunião.
Ao noroeste da Acrópole encontra-se o Areópago, uma colina de mármore que serviu de local de encontro judicial e político na antiga Atenas. Durante a visita do apóstolo Paulo, foi também um local conhecido para debate e discussão intelectual. O conselho aqui, composto por 100 membros, incluindo filósofos, estudiosos e ex-funcionários, ouviu Paulo apresentar sua mensagem, marcando um momento crucial na propagação do cristianismo.
Visite a Igreja de São Dionísio Areopagita, localizada no luxuoso bairro de Kolonaki, na rua Skoufa. Dedicado ao santo patrono de Atenas, Dionísio foi famosamente convertido ao cristianismo pelo apóstolo Paulo e se tornou o primeiro bispo da cidade. A igreja é uma homenagem ao seu legado duradouro e às raízes cristãs iniciais de Atenas.
Viaje até o impressionante Canal de Corinto, uma maravilha de engenharia que atravessa o estreito Istmo de Corinto, conectando o Golfo de Corinto com o Golfo Saronico. Este canal separa o Peloponeso da Grécia continental, efetivamente transformando a península em uma ilha. Embora construído muito depois dos tempos bíblicos, o canal destaca a importância estratégica desta região.
Continuar para o site de antigos Kechrees, o porto oriental de Corinto e um centro vital de comércio e viagens, especialmente durante a era romana. Embora grande parte do porto esteja submersa ou em ruínas, os restos da engenharia romana ainda são visíveis - armazéns, brotos, um ninfa, santuários e uma basílica cristã primitiva do século 4 dC. Este é também o lugar onde o apóstolo Paulo chegou em 51 dC, começando sua missão em Corinto. A mistura de camadas comerciais, religiosas e históricas aqui pinta um quadro vibrante de uma cidade portuária uma vez próspera.
Entre no coração de Corinto Antigo, uma das cidades mais poderosas e prósperas do mundo clássico. Para os visitantes cristãos, este local tem um significado especial: no Bema, uma plataforma erguida no centro da cidade, Paulo se acredita ter se dirigido à comunidade local e enfrentado o julgamento perante o procônus romano. Nas proximidades, a Agora – o movimentado Marketplace – evoca a vida cotidiana dos coríntios aos quais Paulo escreveu. Entre as ruínas, o impressionante Templo de Apolo é um lembrete da longa e complexa história religiosa da cidade.
Antes de concluir sua visita, explore o Museu de Corinto Antigo, fundado em 1932 para proteger os artefatos notáveis descobertos da área. O museu oferece insights ricos sobre a extensa história de Corinto, com tesouros pré-históricos e achados do Santuário de Asklepios. Suas exposições cuidadosamente organizadas iluminam a vida diária, as práticas religiosas e as conquistas artísticas da cidade, complementando perfeitamente sua experiência com o local arqueológico.
Terminar o seu passeio em Acrocorinto, a imponente acrópole que guardou Corinto antigo através de séculos de história. Esta colina fortificada não era apenas uma fortaleza militar, mas também um centro religioso, lar do famoso Templo de Afrodite, que se dizia ter alojado até 1.000 sacerdotisas. Ao explorar as ruínas e apreciar vistas panorâmicas da paisagem circundante, refletir sobre a rica mistura de fé, poder e cultura que moldaram a região ao longo dos séculos.

Dennis did a GREAT job on this tour! Great and clear communication before the tour. Very punctual. History comes alive on this tour and your faith will deepen. We had the privilege of walking Corinth with only a handful of other people-it was so quiet and peaceful. Book this tour-you won’t be disappointed!
Our family of 4 adults had an awesome day with Chris following the steps of Saint Paul. Hands down the best part of our trip to Athens! His deep knowledge of history and storytelling made the Bible come alive and he’s hilarious too. We had a lot of “aha” moments because he added culture and history to Saint Paul’s journey. We’ll never look at the Bible the same way again. So fun, relaxed and personalized, I can’t recommend him high enough. This is the tour to do.
We had a fantastic time with Stelios Papazis of Colours of Greece. He was incredibly knowledgeable and knew every detail of the trip, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. He truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and that everyone had a great time. His passion, professionalism, and friendly attitude made all the difference. We highly recommend Stelios to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Dennis picked us up right on time and delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish. His knowledge of Athens, the Apostle Paul, and Corinth was incredible — he brought the biblical history to life with clear, engaging explanations that made the sites feel relevant and meaningful. We especially appreciated how he tailored the tour to our family, making the ancient stories accessible and interesting for everyone, including our teens. It was the perfect blend of education, history, and faith. I highly recommend this tour to any Christian family wanting a deeper understanding of these historic biblical locations. Dennis is professional, punctual, and truly passionate about what he does. Book with confidence!
Our guide, Stelios, was exceptional! Our pickup was prompt and smooth, the car was comfortable and included WiFi and water. Stelios was incredibly kind and knowledgeable throughout the tour, and was able to answer any questions we had about the sites and Greece in general. He gave us a great restaurant recommendation for lunch and even picked us fresh fruit to try during the tour! Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.
My family of 4 (mom, dad and 2 teenagers) absolutely loved this trip! Michael did an amazing job of keeping everyone engaged and explaining the history of Greece, Corinth and the Apostle Paul! It was the perfect length of time - we got to see everything we wanted too, but didn’t leave feeling overly exhausted!

My daughters and I are here in Greece on a girls trip. We did the Apostle Paul's Missionary Journey in Athens and Corinth with Colors of Greece. Our driver and guide was Stelios and he was wonderful. He showed us many places where Paul traveled. We enjoyed his stories and information about Paul and the beautiful area we were in. We highly recommend this company and Stelios for their tours, we enjoyed Paul's Journey.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you and your daughters enjoyed following the footsteps of Apostle Paul with Stelios. It was our pleasure to share these special places and stories with you. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece for another memorable journey!
We had a wonderful day with our driver and very knowledgeable tour guide Stelios. He was very attentive to our wishes, and we learned a lot—not only about Paul but also about Greek history, myths, the Orthodox Church, and the social and political situation in present-day Greece.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed your day with Stelios and appreciated the opportunity to learn about Apostle Paul, Greek history, mythology, and modern Greece. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future!
I took this all-day tour of Apostle Paul’s missionary journey in Athens and Greece, and it was truly one of the most meaningful experiences of my travels. While my husband couldn’t join me, I never felt alone—thanks entirely to Michael, our exceptional guide. As a young woman traveling solo, I’ll admit I had some initial concerns, but Michael’s attentiveness and genuine care put me at ease. He checked in on me, asking if I was okay and ensuring my comfort throughout the day. He’s a safe, confident driver who never made me feel rushed, allowing me to fully absorb each stop. What impressed me most was Michael’s sensitivity to my background as a relatively new Christian. Rather than overwhelming me with information, he thoughtfully gauged my knowledge at each site, stopping to ask if I understood what he was sharing. This made the learning feel personal and meaningful. Standing at the Port of Corinth, where Paul baptized people, and hearing Michael bring that history to life—it was deeply moving and made my faith feel more tangible and real. Michael’s kindness extended beyond the tour. On a hot day, he surprised me with a cold water bottle. Later, when we stopped for lunch, I believe he spoke with the restaurant owner in Greek on my behalf—I ended up with the best seat in the house, complete with an amazing view and delicious food. Michael also took wonderful photos of me throughout the day, capturing memories I’ll treasure. His sense of humor kept the experience light and enjoyable. This tour was transformative. I’d absolutely recommend Michael to anyone. He’s professional, knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely invested in his guests’ experiences.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly honored that this journey was such a meaningful part of your visit to Greece. Michael will be delighted to hear your kind words. Creating memorable and personal experiences is exactly what we strive for, and we’re so happy that the history of Apostle Paul came to life for you in such a special way. Thank you for trusting us with your day, and we wish you many blessings on your faith journey. We hope to welcome you back to Greece again someday!
