Paul did quite a bit of work in Corinth. Philippi - Recorded in Acts 16. Philippi has many remains you can still visit: Introduction to Phillipi's Roman heritage, Place of Lydia's baptism, Agora where Paul was put on trial, Prison, Baptistry, Via Ignatia where Paul left town. Paul also write at least one letter to the congregation at Philippi. Thessaloniki - recorded in the Bible in Acts. Paul also writes two letters to the congregation at Thessaloniki. Delphi Dion Epidauros - Even though Paul never visited here, one can gain a lot of information about the religious practices and beliefs of the time from visiting Asklepion. Amphipolis - After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. (Acts, chapter 17:1) Berea - hat very night the believers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and when they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue. These Jews were more receptive than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message very eagerly and examined the scriptures every day to see whether these things were so. Many of them therefore believed, including not a few Greek women and men of high standing. But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea as well, they came there too, to stir up and incite the crowds. Then the believers1 immediately sent Paul away to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained behind. Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and after receiving instructions to have Silas and Timothy join him as soon as possible, they left him. (Acts, chapter 17:10-15)
