Your tour begins with morning pickup from your central Thessaloniki hotel. Traveling by private vehicle, set out on the journey to Vergina, as your guide fills you in on some background information. Learn how the ancient site was once the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedon, known as ‘Aigai’, and provides a fascinating inside into the lives of the Macedonian dynasty.
On arrival, follow your guide on a walking tour of the impressive ruins, including the monumental palace, richly decorated with mosaics and stuccos, and the burial ground, which houses hundreds of tumuli, some dating back as early as 11th century B.C. Be sure to stop by the Tomb of Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, and the Prince’s tomb, thought to be that of Alexander IV, the son of Alexander the Great. You will have time to explore both with and without your guide, depending on your preferences.
Back in Thessaloniki, your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.
