Day 2: Thessalonica, Greece

“But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.” – Thessalonians 5:4-5

Enjoy your time at this coastal city in Greece. When Paul first arrived, he received a warm welcome from the Gentiles, contrasting the Jews who had rejected that Jesus was the Messiah. Jewish leaders had also charged him with treason because they believed he was trying to replace loyalty to the emperor with faith in Jesus.

Like Paul and Silas, you will also leave the town at night to board a ship going to Athens but they had left because they feared the possible harsh punishments form the Jewish leaders.

Other places included in the tour:

· Aristotelous Square
