Days 1 & 2 – Sunday-Monday, June 30 – July 1: Depart the US, Arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece
The day of departure finally came! God called together a total of 17 for this “Footsteps of Paul” Biblical journey in Greece trip (with a half a day in Turkey). Using various flights, most of us experienced on-time flights, while unfortunately, a few encountered flight delays, causing a late night arrival.
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 at various times. Most of us enjoyed a buffet dinner at 7, while a few arrived later. We are here at this hotel (a new hotel called the Met Hotel) for two nights. We are looking forward to our first full day here in Greece tomorrow as we travel north!
“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:, Philippi, Kavala, Amphipolis, Thessaloniki
