Embark on a captivating half-day adventure from Kavala Port to the Ancient City of Philippi, where history, religion, and culture intertwine. Founded by Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, and later visited by St. Paul, Philippi is one of the most historically significant sites in Europe.

Your experience begins with a scenic 45-minute drive through the Macedonian countryside. Before reaching Philippi, you’ll make a meaningful stop at the Saint Lydia Philippisia Sacred Baptistery, a tranquil and revered site where Lydia, the first woman baptized by St. Paul in Europe, is honored. Surrounded by peaceful nature, the baptistery holds deep spiritual and historical importance, offering a unique connection to early Christianity.

Upon arrival at Ancient Philippi, explore the awe-inspiring ruins: grand basilicas, the vibrant Roman forum, ancient baths, and the striking Greek theater—each echoing the grandeur of past eras. As you explore, your expert guide will share rich stories that bring Philippi's legendary past to life.

Continue to the Archaeological Museum of Philippi, where a curated collection of ancient artifacts—from sculptures and pottery to mosaics and inscriptions—offers deeper insight into the daily life and artistry of the city’s ancient inhabitants.

Enjoy free time afterward to take in the views, grab a refreshment, or shop for local souvenirs near the site before returning comfortably to the port.
