Treasures of Greece
Guided Discovery of Ancient Philippi & the Christian Heritage of Kavala
Explore one of Northern Greece’s most historically rich sites—the ancient city of Philippi and the Christian landmarks of nearby Kavala. Set in the region of Krinides, Philippi holds layers of history shaped by Macedonian kings, Roman settlers, and early Christian communities.
Named after Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, the city was a thriving cultural and political center. Your guided tour includes the Roman forum, the commercial agora, sections of the ancient Via Egnatia, the prison associated with the Apostle Paul, and an impressive Greek theater later repurposed as a Roman arena.
Throughout the site, you’ll encounter mosaic pavements, tombstones, and architectural details that reflect centuries of transformation. Your guide will share insights into how Philippi evolved from a Hellenistic city into a Roman colony and a key location in the spread of Christianity.
