Walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul – A Spiritual Journey Through Asia Minor & Greece

Trace the missionary journeys of St. Paul from Ephesus and Pergamon to Philippi and Thessaloniki — a profound pilgrimage blending faith and history.

Join Deux Travel on an unforgettable journey tracing the missionary routes of St. Paul, the most travelled apostle. Throughout his missions, St. Paul visited key cities of Asia Minor, including the magnificent ancient sites of Ephesus—where St. John also spent much of his life—and Pergamon, one of the great centers of early Christianity.

Crossing the Aegean Sea, St. Paul reached Rhodes and later Kavala, continuing his mission into Europe. The ancient city of Philippi, still deeply influenced by his presence, is one of the most inspiring stops on this tour. Here you can also visit the serene river where Lydia was baptized, becoming the first Christian in Europe—a powerful moment in Christian history.
