Itinerary
Areopago
Areopagus is a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. In pre-classical times (before the 5th century BC), the Areopagus was used as the council of elders of the city. In classical times, it functioned as the court system.
In Roman times, it was from this location, drawing from the potential significance of the Athenian altar to the Unknown God, that the Apostle Paul is said to have delivered the famous speech.
The term “Areopagus” also refers to the judicial body that subsequently formed the higher court of modern Greece.
20 minutes
Ancient Agora of Athens
The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens, the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, the religious and cultural centre, and the seat of justice.
The site was occupied without interruption in all periods of the city's history. It was used as a residential and burial area as early as the Late Neolithic period (3000 B.C.). Early in the 6th century, in the time of Solon, the Agora became a public area.
Here, Apostle Paul preached Christianity for the first time to Greeks in 51 A.D.
1 hour 30 minutes
Tempio Di Zeus Olimpio (Pass By)
The temple of Olympian Zeus (124-132 AD) had three rows of eight columns (tripteral octastyle) on the two narrow sides and two rows of twenty columns (dipteral eikosastyle) on the long sides. It once housed the chryselephantine (gold and ivory) statue of Zeus and the statue of the emperor. Sixteen of the temple's columns survive today, thirteen of them, on the east side, intact. Of the remaining three on the west side, one collapsed in 1852.
Panathenaic Stadium
It was originally a natural hollow part of the ground between the two hills of Agra and Ardettos, over Ilissos river. It was transformed into a stadium by Lykourgos in 330-329 BC for the athletic competitions of the Great Panathinaea Festivities. Between 140 and 144 AD, Herodes Atticus restored the Stadium, giving it the form that was found at the 1870 excavation: the horseshoe construction with a track 204,07 meters long and 33,35 meters wide. It is believed that the Stadium had a seating capacity of 50.000 people. Separating scales were built between the tiers and on the base of the sphendone there was a portico with Doric-style columns; another portico was placed in the stadium's facade. At the Roman times, the Stadium was used as an arena, with the addition of a semi-circular wall on the north that was corresponding to the sphendone of the southern side.
15 minutes
Arco Di Adriano (Pass By)
The triumphal arch lies on an ancient street that led from the old city of Athens to the new, Roman section, built by Hadrian. It was constructed by the Athenians in A.D. 131, in honor of their benefactor emperor. Two inscriptions are carved on the architrave, one on each side: the first, on the side towards the Acropolis reads "This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus"; the second, on the other side, facing the new city reads "This is the city of Hadrian and not of Theseus".
Plateia Syntagmatos (Pass By)
Also known as Constitution Square, Syntagma Square (Plateia Syntagmatos) is a huge public plaza stretching out in front of Athens’ parliament building. Gleaming with white marble and beautiful statues, it’s a great place for people watching. Many of the city's most important streets begin here, including Ermou Street and Vassilissis Sofias Avenue.
Tomba Del Milite Ignoto
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a war memorial located in Syntagma Square in Athens, in front of the House of the Greek Parliament. It is a cenotaph dedicated to the Greek soldiers killed during war. It was sculpted between 1930 and 1932 by sculptor Fokion Rok. The tomb is guarded 24-7 by the Evzones (Presidential Guards).
15 minutes

Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal is one of the oldest man-made canals in the world and a very important navigational route in the Greek archipelago connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf.
The canal’s position, thereby also separates the peninsula of Peloponnese – conveniently converting it into an island – with the Greek mainland. And, while the Greece canal is quite narrow, it is a fact that the canal is a vital lifeline for ships wanting to enter the Aegean Sea.
Spanning a distance of 6.3 kilometres, the Corinth Canal has a depth of 26 feet and its width alters between a minimum of 69 feet and a maximum of 82 feet at the bottom and at the surface respectively. Surrounded by walls standing at a height of 170 feet, the canal helps a ship to save a journey of 185 nautical miles.
30 minutes
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
The apostle Paul first visited the city in AD 49 or 50, when Gallio, the brother of Seneca, was proconsul of Achaia.[57] Paul resided here for eighteen months (see Acts 18:11). Here he first became acquainted with Priscilla and Aquila with whom he later traveled. They worked here together as tentmakers (from which is derived the modern Christian concept of tentmaking), and regularly attended the synagogue. In AD 51/52, Gallio presided over the trial of the Apostle Paul in Corinth. This event provides a secure date for the book of the Acts of the Apostles within the Bible. Silas and Timothy rejoined Paul here, having last seen him in Berea (Acts 18:5).
1 hour 30 minutes
Kechries

Best Tour and Emotional Response
Published on Nov, 2024
This was my favorite tour while in Athens! Apostle, our driver, added so much to our day—fun, professional, informative, and, did I say, fun? He even chose the best timing in the tour for us to dodge the crowds! I didn't expect the emotional response from seeing the port where Paul left for Ephesus or other spots where he preached. My friends and I especially loved the drive to the castle overlooking the Corinth archaeological site. It was so high,, but Apostle drove carefully, making it accessible to even the weakest knees. I am grateful becasue I didnt want to miss it! I think he shoudl get a bonus ! HA!
Informative, interesting and inspiring!
Published on Oct, 2024
This was an excellent tour. The guide was very thoughtful and informative. She had considerable knowledge of the life of the apostle Paul and was able to answer any questions we had.
THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP
Published on Oct, 2024
This was undoubtedly the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. George was prompt in picking us up and very professional. He made sure my husband and I had interest in seeing everything on the itinerary and adjusted the schedule according to what was most important to us; allotting extra time at the places we wanted to indulge in. He never made us feel rushed and stated over and over again that it was our day and he wanted to make it great for us. He also put us up front and very close to the Changing of the Guard (a must see)!! The soldiers literally walked right by us. He knew when and where to go to avoid the large crowds wanting to get pictures. It was truly amazing. It was like it was a private show just for us. He stopped and took pictures of us wherever we requested. He was always smiling and pleasant! And his KNOWLEDGE of the Apostle Paul was amazing!! He started giving us the History almost from the start of the tour and kept adding to it along the way. He truly filled in all the gaps. We felt like we were right there in Biblical times. We actually stood at the spots where Paul preached from. So amazing!!!
Wonderful Experience

Constantina was a magnificent and knowledgeable tour guide. She knew about history, culture, politics, and religions of the Mediterranean with the focus on Greece in depth and was very accommodating when it came to individual needs of our group. We enjoyed and appreciated the tour very much and highly recommend it.
