There is no doubt that you should not leave North Greece without visiting the archeological sight of Vergina, one of the most important in Greece, where you can see the Royal tombs and admire the world-famous gold findings. During the day we will drive across beautiful Macedonia, which is called the "Garden of Europe” and we will visit some of the most interesting places of the Greek ancient history by following the traces left by Alexander the Great.
We will also visit Pella, the ancient capital town of Macedonia and the native town of Alexander the Great, and you will see the exhibits of the museum and the archaeological site with the marvelous mosaics.

Our 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.
