Reserve my entryThis is full admission to the Archaeological Site of Philippi — the theatre, the Roman forum, the Via Egnatia, the early Christian basilicas and the octagon church, the Roman baths and the traditional Prison of St Paul — together with the Archaeological Museum of Philippi on the site. We reserve your entry for the single date and hourly slot you choose and send it to your phone, so you walk straight past the ticket-office queue to the gate.
What's included
Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the gate.
• Philippi entry — the full archaeological site: the theatre, the Roman forum, the Via Egnatia, the early Christian basilicas and the octagon church, the Roman baths and the traditional Prison of St Paul • Archaeological Museum of Philippi — on the site and included in the ticket • Timed-entry ticket — reserved for the date and hourly slot you choose • 5-minute audio history sent before your visit • Booking handled in your own language
Who this is for
This is standard full admission, ideal for independent travellers who want to skip the on-the-day queue and have everything handled. The standard ticket needs no passport or name. The operator sets its own reduced and free categories (for example for children and certain EU visitors), which may require ID at the gate — contact our team if you think one applies to you. Note the Baptistery of St Lydia by the river is a separate site with its own access, not covered by this ticket.
On the day
Philippi is about 15 km northwest of Kavala, beside the village of Krinides — reachable by regional bus toward Drama or a short taxi from Kavala, or by car in about two hours from Thessaloniki. Show your mobile ticket at the gate within your booked hour and walk the theatre, the forum and the basilicas before the coaches arrive, then finish in the on-site museum. It's an open, largely shadeless site, so bring a hat, sunscreen, water and sturdy shoes, and allow about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you have more time, the acropolis towers above and the riverside Baptistery of St Lydia nearby reward a visit, though the baptistery is a separate site.
