All who journey to Greece discover something interesting, educational, and entertaining. Its roads were traveled not only by Ancient philosophers, warriors, and athletes, but also by the Apostles of our Lord, and countless saints of the succeeding centuries. Thus, to us Christians, a trip to Greece is also a pilgrimage, a chance to experience the earliest Christian communities established by the Apostles and often mentioned in the Bible. These ancient communities have flourished and survived, even until the present day.
History and archaeology buffs will be inspired to see the mighty ruins of Mycenae, the picturesque Parthenon of the Athenian Acropolis, the incredible Macedonian Tombs, and the renowned Ancient Greek Sanctury at Delphi. Art lovers will see phenomenal collections of antique Greek marble statues, and wonder at the craftsmanship of the goldsmith of millennia ago. Devotees of sacred art will have ample opportunities to explore incredible Byzantine monuments on the mainland of Greece, with frescoes and mosaics of unparalleled beauty. Pilgrims will rejoice at following in the footsteps of the Apostles in Thessaloniki, Corinth, Veria, and venerating the relics of many special and beloved saints such as Saint Andrew the Apostle, Saint Demetrius, Saint Gregory Palamas, and Saint Nectarios, just to name a few.
Most people think of Greece as simply a collection of countless beautiful islands scattered amidst the waves of the Aegean Sea, but we have created an itinerary that is far from the run-of-the-mill tours; a chance to discover Greece and what makes it so extraordinary throughout the history of human culture and the Christian Church. We will travel a bit off the beaten path of the general tourist routes and explore what is truly the best that Greece has to offer.
