Outline

The excursion begins from Thessaloniki towards Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great.

Proceed to Veria to visit the Church Of The Christ from the 14th a.d. and continue further for a short visit at St. Pauls Tribune.. Lunch will be served at a restaurant in Veria, over viewing the immense valley of river Aliakmon.

Our last stop is Vergina, the first ancient capital of the Greek Macedonian Kingdom. Visit the Royal tombs and the underground exhibition, which contains findings, discovered in the tombs. Marvel at objects, which once belonged to Philip II – the King’s shield adorned with ivory and gold, the King’s gold-trimmed iron breast plate, Gold Diadems and more – before your return to Thessaloniki.
