A pilgrimage built around your parish calendar and led by your own clergy. Mystakidis Tours has guided Orthodox parishes on pilgrimage since 1959. Every detail is handled from Athens.
A parish pilgrimage is unlike an open departure. It is a journey of your own people, on your own dates, led by your own priest.
Mystakidis Tours has worked with Orthodox priests and parish councils for more than sixty-five years. We build the itinerary around your liturgical calendar and your community, and we handle every operational detail, from the air to the coach to the entrance fees at the holy places.
The parish brings its people and its priest. We bring the experience that makes a pilgrimage of forty pilgrims feel small and unhurried.
Share the destination you have in mind, your preferred dates, and a rough sense of group size. Two minutes on the inquiry form.
Within a few days we send a tailored itinerary and a no-obligation proposal. It is built around your parish calendar and your priest's vision.
You announce the pilgrimage to your congregation. We provide the deposit page, the registration, and the materials your parishioners need.
The Mystakidis Tours team carries the pilgrimage from arrival to return. Your priest leads. We handle the rest.
The pilgrimage is built around the parish calendar, not a fixed catalogue. Set the departure around your feast days and your community's life.
The spiritual leadership of the pilgrimage stays with the parish priest. We arrange private liturgies at the holy sites, the renewal of baptismal promises at the Jordan, and quiet time for prayer at every stop.
The clergy leader travels with the group on a complimentary place on qualifying group sizes. The parish is not asked to fund his seat.
From the first call to the return flight, one Mystakidis Tours coordinator handles your parish. No handoffs, no confusion.
Air, coach, four-star hotels on half board, licensed guides, entrance fees, and the small things that keep a parish trip on the rails.
