What To Expect
Archaeological Site at Pella
In Pella, the ancient capital of the Macedonian Empire and native town of Alexander the Great, we will see the archaeological site with the extensive Macedonian excavation containing an excellent collection of marbles, mosaics and terracotta statuettes unearthed here.
Vergina
At Vergina, you will visit the most important remains of the monumental palace of the Kingdom of Macedonia, lavishly decorated with mosaics and painted stuccoes, and the burial ground with more than 300 tumuli, some of which date from the 11th century B.C. One of the royal tombs is identified as that of Philip II, who conquered all the Greek cities, paving the way for his son Alexander the Great and the expansion of the Hellenistic world

5.00Our guide wondered why we had chosen this particular tour. We were trying to follow the history of Alexander the Great. It was a long day of driving but we were especially rewarded in Vergina. Here were discovered four tombs-two never ransacked. Buried deep underground, was the intact tomb of Phillip II, father of Alexander the Great. The treasures buried with him were countless and beautiful. Though much is known about Alexander, his burial site has never been identified. Thus, this site remains extraordinary.
