Overview

Start your day with a personal pickup by your English-speaking driver from your hotel in Thessaloniki and head toward the historic city of Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great. Enjoy scenic countryside views during the 45-minute drive, with optional photo stops along the way. In Pella, explore the renowned archaeological site, famous for its intricate Macedonian mosaics and the grand palace ruins. Visit the nearby museum to see remarkable artifacts and Macedonian art from the 4th century BC. Next, travel to Vergina, the original capital of Macedonia. Discover the remains of the royal palace and visit the Museum of Aigai, which houses the Royal Tombs, including that of King Philip II, Alexander's father. Conclude the day in Edessa with a traditional Greek lunch and a visit to its iconic waterfalls and park. After a relaxing afternoon, return to Thessaloniki in your private, air-conditioned vehicle.
