Named after King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, Philippi was one of the most important cities of the area during the Roman times.
One for the greates battles of the Roman times took place right next to it but the religious significance of the sight is probably even more important than its historical. Visited by Paul the Apostle, Philippi is the place in Europe where Christianity started and where the very first European Christians were baptised.
Let's follow the footsteps of Paul!

Hello everybody!
I am Nikos and I am born and raised in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki where I have been working as a professional licensed tour guide for the past ten years.
I have a background in history and archaeology but I do believe that a guided tour should be more than just that. A guided tour should also be about the unecdotes, the people who live there, the stories that do not fit into history books. So, hopefully, together we are going to explore the city, learn about the sights and monuments, understand the people and feel its beating heart!
I have been working as a professional licensed tour guide in Thessaloniki and all over Greece for a few years now, but every tour is completely different than the previous, and what makes it different is you! There is nothing like being outside, walking around with good company and showing the place you live and love, sharing to the people next to you the little secrets and unseen details that make it special. And if I can show you why this place is so special to me, then maybe it will become special to you too!
I have a few tours planned but, please, do not hesitate to ask me about a customisable tour anywhere in northern Greece or maybe even more to the south. Let me know what you are interested in and together we are going to create a tour from scratch!
I hope you give me tha chance of showing you around but, if not, then enjoy this special beautiful place, enjoy Thessaloniki, enjoy northern Greece!
