Let us take you to the Ancient Agora, the site where St. Paul addressed the Athenian crowds of old and taught them about the Unknown God and Christianity. The famous speech of the Apostle inspired thousands of ancient Greeks and prompted them to embrace Christianity and the teachings of Jesus. Your guide will bring to life those legends and anecdotal facts as well as the different myths of the site itself.
Continue with the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, the religious seat of Athens and the principal temple of the Greek Capital. Visit the church and admire its architecture as your guide walks you through its story and religious significance through the ages.
We finish with the Roman Catholic Basilica of St. Dennis, another great testament to Christian architecture and the principal site of worship of the Catholic dogma of Christianity in Athens. A tour of the basilica itself will help you re-live the days of the Byzantine Empire and the famous story of the Schism between the two churches.
