Greece Pilgrimage
- Thessalonica
to Kavala |
||
|
Day 4: Thessaloniki to Kavala En route passed the ancient cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia seeing the marble lion commemorating Philip Of Macedon’s victory over the Athenians in the 4th Century BC. In Kavala (Neopolis in the New Testament) saw St Paul’s church and the House of Mehmet Ali. Stayed at Hotel Oceanis for three nights. Paul originally arrived here from Troas (Acts 16: 11), and, after leaving Philippi, came to Thessalonica via Amphipolis and Apollonia (Acts 17: 1). There were no Jewish synagogues in these cities which is perhaps why Paul did not stop to preach the gospel. |
