Your journey begins with an overnight flight to Athens, offering the chance to rest before following in the footsteps of the apostle Paul. Upon arrival, you’ll fly to Thessaloniki, where Paul preached, then explore historic sites such as the White Tower and Philippi, where Paul baptized Lydia. In Meteora, you’ll visit stunning Byzantine monasteries perched on cliffs before continuing to Athens for a Mediterranean cruise. Stops include Mykonos for leisurely exploration, Ephesus to see the ruins of the Temple of Diana, and the picturesque cliffs of Santorini. The trip concludes with a visit to Corinth, the Acropolis, and Delphi before returning home.
Level 1: Easy
This trip is comparable to a sightseeing bus tour. Most of the travel will be from the comforts of our air-conditioned motor coaches. There may be limited walking, sometimes even across uneven surfaces. Nearly all sites will be wheelchair accessible.
Level 2: Relaxed
This trip consists of light walking, potentially 1-3 miles per day at most. Most of your time will be spent on the bus, at museums or other sites with frequent stops, or places with similar accommodations. Occasionally there will be uneven paths, however most sites will be wheelchair accessible.
Level 3: Moderately Active (Most Common)
This trip is our most popular and standardized for our most common programs. On average you’ll be walking 3-5 miles per day, with a handful of sites having uneven pathways. Some sites may be wheelchair accessible, however some will not. Some sites may be inaccessible due to stairs or rugged terrain. There will be frequent stops throughout the day to rest and catch your breath.
Level 4: Very Active
This trip is a bit more energetic, featuring the occasional hike or even potentially a dig site. You’ll be walking anywhere between 4-7 miles per day, many sites will have uneven or unpaved walkways. Several sites will be wheelchair accessible, and have wheelchair specific areas, however many sites do contain stairs or other similar obstacles. Travelers are welcome to sit on the bus or meet with the group at the end of certain sites if they do not wish to participate.
Level 5: Energetic
This is our most energetic program! We’ve specifically aimed these programs at students and young adults, as they may consist of 6-10 miles of walking per day, along with hikes and other adventurous obstacles. This tour is more strenuous than most tour programs. While some sites may offer accommodations for wheelchairs or walkers, travelers may want to opt out from certain sites due to uneven terrain and unpaved pathways. Some programs also include early dusk or dawn hikes or walks, which could be difficult for some with impaired vision in darker settings.
