Trip to Greece in Overview (October 2018)


Greece is a big country to me, perhaps not in size but definitely in significance.

Kristin and I had an opportunity to travel to Greece in October 2018. It was the combination of Best of Greece Tour with Expat Explore and also trip to select cities where Apostle Paul visited during his missionary journey.

We arrived in Athens several days prior to the Best of Greece Tour began. We rented a car to drive to Corinth and stayed over night there. The next morning, we drove back to Athens and took a plane to fly to Thessaloniki. We stayed there for three nights and drove to Kavala, Philippi and Veria, while also exploring Thessaloniki.

Best of Greece Tour was a 12 day tour that covers important archaeological sites, such as Athens, Delphi, Olympia, natural sites of wonder, such as Meteora, and two important Greek islands: i.e. Mykonos and Santorini. I will cover the tour story on each of important sites.

But, this tour does not have any specific interest in Christianity while Greece played an important role in Christianity. In particularly, Apostle Paul's mission journey to Europe began in Greece and it was Greece that called the time out when Roman Catholic was going astray, by starting Greek Orthodox Churches. So I have covered a story on Apostle Paul's Mission Journey in Greece and Greek Christianity, separately.

Thus, our trip to Greece will be structured as follows:

1. Greek History
2. Apostle Paul's Mission Journey in Greece
3. Greek Mythology
4. Greek Foods

Then, I will cover the geographical cities as we visited them. - Jeffrey
