3-Day Tour
Biblical Greece offers suggested tours, shorter tours of three and seven days, and a longer tour of ten days. The shorter tours visit many of the cities of Greece mentioned in the New Testament (Philippi, Thessaloniki, Athens, and Corinth), while the longer tour includes other ancient Greek archaeological sites. Each of these archaeological sites of great Biblical importance helps to build the foundation of the environment in which the New Testament was written.
The three-day tour, which consists of three full days in Greece, is the perfect option for groups traveling to or coming from another country (e.g. Israel or Turkey) who would like to experience a new cultural environment in a shorter amount of time.
