Full description
Visit Pella and Vergina, the two most important archaeological sites of the Macedonian Empire. Here in these two sites unfolds the great history of two great men and of a great ancient kingdom. Start your day tour from Thessaloniki. After 60 minutes driving you will arrive at Vergina. Vergina was the first capital and was called Aiges in ancient times. Here you will visit the royal tombs of King Philip II father of Alexander the great. Inside the museum/tomb complex burial artifacts such as gold jewelry, weapons, religious artifacts and the Gold Larnax found at the tomb containing the remains of King Philip are on display.   Discover the museum of Pella at the next stop of your trip. Here is the place of birth of Alexander the Great and the capital of the great Macedonian Kingdom. At the newly build museum admire thousands of gold and silver artifacts, mosaics, weapons, statues and maps. Next to the museum is the archaeological site where you will comprehend how big the capital was once when you walk around the 4000 hectar site.

Our driver Yannis from DE Tours was outstanding, personable and punctual. The museums at Pella and especially Vergina were very creative in their presentations of the artifacts from this area. It's a very worthwhile day trip from Thessaloniki

Toller Ausflug! Das Museum von Pella ist hervorragend, der archäologische Park sehr interessant, da man dann die Orte sieht, an denen die Funde gemacht wurden. Das Museum der königlichen Gräber in Vergina ist einfach überwältigend
