10-Day Tour of Greece
w/3-Night Cruise
October 19, 2026 to October 28, 2026
Embark on a meaningful journey through Greece and Turkey as you trace the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Begin in Thessaloniki, where Paul preached and stayed with Jason. Then, travel to Philippi, where he baptized Lydia, his first convert in Europe. Next, visit Kavala, the port city where Paul first landed on European soil.
From there, head inland to the towering monasteries of Meteora, offering peace, beauty, and spiritual reflection. Afterward, return to Athens to explore the Acropolis, walk through the Agora, and stand on Mars Hill, where Paul addressed the philosophers of his day.
Then, board a Mediterranean cruise for an unforgettable voyage. First, stop at Mykonos, known for its white-washed charm. Next, explore Ephesus, where Paul spent three years teaching. Walk along its marble streets and visit the Great Theater and St. John’s Basilica.
Continue to Patmos, where the Apostle John received the visions of Revelation. Visit the Cave of the Apocalypse and nearby monastery. Afterward, sail to Crete, a place where Paul left Titus to lead the early church. Then, enjoy the stunning views of Santorini, a volcanic island with breathtaking scenery.
Later, explore Corinth, where Paul lived and preached for 18 months. Visit the ruins, the ancient marketplace, and the Bema seat. Finally, travel to Delphi, once the heart of the ancient world, for reflection on how the Gospel challenged Greek beliefs.
Throughout the journey, enjoy moments of discovery, worship, and connection. With each site, Scripture comes alive. Whether walking through ruins, sailing past islands, or standing on biblical ground, this faith-filled adventure will inspire and transform.

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.

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.
