Description

Begin your tour at the Ancient Agora of Athens, where Paul reasoned “in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be on hand” (Acts 17:17). Explore this large archaeological site, including the Stoa of Attalos, which now hosts the Museum of the Ancient Agora. See exhibits of religious idols and a portrait of Paul. Continue to the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the most well-preserved temples of antiquity, which existed during Paul’s time. Next, head to Hadrian’s Library, built in 132 BC, and see the ruins of a colonnade with shops, two entrance gates, a fountain, and the Tower of the Winds. Follow the path Paul took to the Hill of Areopagus, where he gave his famous speech (Acts 17:22-31) in front of the judges of that time. Admire the views of the Acropolis from this impressive rock, known as Mars Hill. Finally, visit the Acropolis and explore its four ancient structures: the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Propylaia. Learn about the history, culture, and religion of Ancient Greece, and gain a better understanding of the difficulties Paul encountered during his mission in Athens.
