Days 1 & 2 – Sunday-Monday, September 10-11: Depart the US, Arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece
The day of departure finally came! God called together a total of 39 for this “Footsteps of Paul” biblical journey in Greece, Turkey, and for about half in the group, Italy (Naples, Pompeii, and Rome). Using various flights, most of us experienced on-time flights, while unfortunately, a few encountered flight delays. We hope and pray that everyone arrives in a timely manner!
Thessaloniki
The final destination of our flights here in Greece was Thessaloniki (ancient Thessalonica). It is Greece’s second largest city (besides Athens). Sunny skies and temps in the 80s greeted us. Arriving at the airport, we were met by an Expedition / Imagine Tours agent, who escorted us to our hotel. Some of us enjoyed a buffet dinner at 7, while most in the group had a dinner plate delivered to our rooms after 9 p.m. We are here at this hotel for two nights. We are looking forward to our first full day here in Greece tomorrow!
“Today was a long travel day. The various flights the group took all found their final destination in Thessaloniki, Greece. We are all looking forward to our first full day here in Greece tomorrow. We will literally be walking in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul of the Bible!”
Day 3 – Tuesday, September 12: Amphipolis, Philippi, Kavala, Thessaloniki
