Itinerário
A Santa Igreja de São Paulo Apóstolo em Agios Paulo, Thessaloniki, Grécia, é um importante marco espiritual dedicado a São Paulo. Salónica é uma cidade com laços profundos com as viagens missionárias do Apóstolo, como ele pregou e estabeleceu uma comunidade cristã lá, referenciada nas cartas do Novo Testamento aos Tessalonicenses.
Philippi é uma das paradas mais significativas para aqueles que seguem os passos de São Paulo. Localizada no norte da Grécia moderna, perto da cidade de Kavala, Filippi era uma cidade importante na província romana da Macedónia durante o tempo de Paulo. Hoje, os restos arqueológicos de Filippi permitem aos visitantes seguir os passos de Paulo: O Baptistério de Lídia, o Fórum Romano, a Prisão de Paulo e Silas, a Igreja Octagon (uma das primeiras igrejas cristãs da Europa, construída sobre as ruínas de uma estrutura mais antiga) e o Teatro Antigo.
Baptistério de Santa Lídia é um importante local de peregrinação cristã localizado perto da antiga cidade de Filipos, no norte da Grécia. Ele comemora Lídia de Tiatira, a primeira convertida europeia registrada ao cristianismo, batizada por São Paulo durante sua jornada missionária (Atos 16:13-15). Significado Bíblico de Lydia e Seu Batismo Lydia, uma negociante de pano roxo, era uma mulher rica e influente de Thyatira, residente em Philippi. Ela é descrita como uma "adoradora de Deus", indicando que ela provavelmente era um gentio que venerava a fé judaica. Sua conversão ao cristianismo marcou um momento crucial na propagação da fé na Europa, tornando-a uma das figuras mais significativas da história cristã primitiva. São Paulo batizou Lídia e sua família perto de um rio fora das portas da cidade de Filipos. Este ato simbolizou o início da igreja cristã na Europa.
No topo da Cidade Velha fica orgulhosamente a fortaleza, um marco de Kavala e um dos seus pontos turísticos mais impressionantes. O pico da península de Panagia é dominado pela Acrópole de Kavala, cuja maior parte foi construída no primeiro quarto do século XV. O distrito interno era a parte mais importante da acrópole, pois continha todas as áreas essenciais para sua defesa. Hoje, o visitante pode ver: A torre circular central, que era a última linha de defesa. A poeira e a loja de alimentos, que mais tarde foi convertida em uma prisão. A guarnição, um espaço adequado para os quartos dos oficiais ou guardas. A cisterna de água. Duas torres quadradas e uma torre poligonal podem ser vistas nas paredes do distrito externo da acrópole, enquanto em seu distrito interno há um teatro ao ar livre para eventos culturais e um café para visitantes. Do nível superior da torre circular central, uma vista maravilhosa sobre toda a cidade de Kavala pode ser apreciada.
São Paulo Bema em Kavala, Grécia, é um monumento que comemora a chegada de São Paulo na cidade durante sua segunda jornada missionária. Kavala, conhecida como Nápoles na antiguidade, foi a primeira cidade europeia onde Paulo pisou depois de receber uma visão chamando-o a pregar na Macedônia (Atos 16:9-11). Este site significativo é uma visita obrigatória para aqueles que rastream as pegadas de São Paulo.

Solon provided excellent service. He gave us great information about Greece on our trip to Philippi. The vehicle used was very comfortable. Our licensed guide at Philippi and Lydia's Baptistry was very informative. Solon took us to a very nice restaurant for lunch and a pleasant excursion in Kavala by the water before returning home.

Solon arrived at our hotel to begin a lovely day tracing the footsteps of St. Paul. He had contacted us before the tour began to find out a bit about our lunch/food preferences. After a quick tour of some sites in Thessaloniki proper, we began the pleasant drive to Philippi. Solon pointed out current and historical locations along the way. At the park, we met our extremely knowledgeable guide, Sula. She greatly expanded our knowledge of Philippi and Paul’s influence there, bringing a new richness to our understanding of Acts and Philippians. Next, we traveled to Lydia’s Baptistry. Such a beautiful and serene setting. Once again, Sula brought the history to life and highlighted the stunning artwork and decoration used in the baptistry building. Based on our preferences, Solon had prearranged an outstanding lunch in Kavala of Greek dishes at a delightful restaurant that we would never have found on our own.

I’m especially glad you enjoyed the experience in Philippi and Lydia’s Baptistry—these places have a unique atmosphere, and with Sula’s knowledge, they really come to life in a meaningful way. I’m also happy to hear that the lunch in Kavala met your expectations. Creating a personalized experience, from the route to the dining, is always my goal, so knowing that you appreciated these details is very rewarding.

It was such a pleasure to spend time with Katrina as she drove me to the sites as listed for the Footsteps of Paul tour. Not only did I visit the sites but got to know more about Greek culture that was not listed for the tour!
