Missionary Journeys of Paul
Paul’s journey to Rome that concludes the book of Acts is one of the
most exciting stories in ancient literature. It recounts the fateful
shipwreck that occurred west of Crete, and ends in Rome, the seat of the
Christian world for over 1500 years. Before he and his followers came
to Rome, however, two of Paul’s missionary journeys came to Greece,
where his work formed the foundation of some of Christianity’s earliest
congregations. we will visit

second journey. We stop at Neapolis to walk on a well-preserved section

and nearby Nicopolis, where Paul spent the winter.
