Experience Greece in the Spirit of St. Paul and the Joy of Pilgrimage

Experience Greece in the Spirit of St. Paul and the Joy of Pilgrimage

Follow the Apostle’s path across Greece, celebrate Mass in ancient cities, and experience a faith-filled pilgrimage that unites Scripture, tradition, and discovery.

As we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ this Advent season, we are reminded that pilgrimage is a living expression of faith—a journey that transforms both soul and spirit. Few pilgrimages bring Scripture to life as vividly as walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul across Greece, where the pages of the New Testament unfold before your eyes.

From Thessaloniki to Philippi, Berea to Corinth, and onward to Athens, pilgrims retrace the Apostle’s mission as he spread the Gospel throughout the ancient world. In Philippi, visit the riverbank where St. Paul baptized Lydia, the first Christian convert in Europe, and celebrate Mass amid the ruins where he and Silas were imprisoned. Journey to Thessaloniki, one of Christianity’s earliest communities, and reflect on St. Paul’s letters to the faithful there. Continue to Berea, where the local Jews received the Word “with all eagerness,” and to Corinth, where you’ll stand before the Bema where St. Paul defended his faith before the Roman governor. Finally, in Athens, ascend Mars Hill (the Areopagus) to meditate on the courage of St. Paul’s sermon to the Athenians about the “unknown God.” Each stop deepens your understanding of the Church’s beginnings and your own walk of faith.

After tracing his path by land, our optional Aegean Cruise offers a peaceful voyage through the islands that have stirred the hearts of believers for centuries. Visit Patmos, where St. John received the Book of Revelation; explore the beauty of Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete; and savor the fellowship of shipboard life surrounded by azure seas and radiant sunsets. It is a unique way to complement prayerful reflection with moments of joy, rest, and discovery.

At Regina Tours, we believe a pilgrimage is more than travel—it is an encounter with grace and a celebration of the global Church. Traveling together in faith enriches each moment, transforming a group of travelers into a true community of pilgrims. Our experienced Catholic guides and spiritual directors ensure that every Mass, every site, and every shared prayer deepens your connection to God and one another. If you feel called to embark on this journey of faith and beauty, join us in 2026 for an unforgettable encounter with St. Paul’s legacy and the sacred spirit of Greece.
