Historical and Religious Walking Tour of Veria’s Old Town

Explore Veria’s historic neighborhoods, known as “Little Jerusalem” for its 48 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches, and trace the footsteps of Apostle Paul, who preached here in 50/51 AD. This guided walking tour covers the Jewish Quarter (Barbouta), the Jewish Synagogue (built 1850, one of Europe’s oldest), the Vima Apostolou Pavlou (St. Paul’s Tribune with a mosaic commemorating his sermon), and the Old Metropolis, a stunning 11th-century basilica. You’ll also visit the Byzantine Museum, housed in a 1911 industrial building, showcasing wall paintings, mosaics, and sculptures.
