Day 3: Athens, Greece

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everyone else.” – Acts 17:24-25

Our third destination will be in the capital of Greece, the birthplace of democracy.

There will be much to see and do at the ancient temples and majestic structures Greece’s most famous city is known for. A few places you will experience include

The citizens were unconvinced of Paul’s preaching. Although they enjoyed debating and hearing about new ideas, the phenomenal Resurrection of Jesus was considered a peculiar joke rather than the truth. Most rejected the Way with few exceptions, so Paul was unsuccessful in starting a Christian community here.

Other places included in the tour:

· The Theatre of Dionysos

· The National Archeological Museum
