“…. loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; 12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia…” – Acts 16:11,12
During the apostle Paul’s second missionary journey, he received the Macedonian call while at Troas, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” – Acts 16:9. Paul and company immediately set sail for Neapolis (modern day Kavala Greece), with a stop on the island of Samothrace.
The island was a seat of cult worship. There are significant ruins on the North side of the island. The complex is known as “The Sanctuary of the Great Gods.”
Samothrace can be reached by ferryboat from both Alexandroupolis and Kavala Greece. We took a ferry from Alexandroupolis. The trip took about two hours.
Fishermen tending to their nets. 
One of about 45,000 goats on the island. 
Rotisserie goat, very tasty!
