The archaeological site of Philippi, near Kavala, has one of the richest histories of all ancient Greek ruins, playing a pivotal role in Macedonian, Roman, and Early Christian history. As you explore the archaeological site, you will appreciate the city’s transition from Hellenistic settlement to the Roman colony, with the expansion of the theatre, the creation of the Forum (the Roman agora), and the proliferation of buildings central to everyday ancient life (including baths, cisterns, and latrines that had running water). The third chapter in Philippi’s story came in 49 or 50 AD when the Apostle Paul preached the words of the world’s newest religion within its walls. He was briefly thrown into jail as a result but that didn’t stop Philippi from becoming a metropolitan of Early Christianity. As you walk around, you will literally be retracing some of the first steps of Christianity in Europe.
