Day Trip to Vergina & Veria

We'll meet next to the Statue of Venizelos and embark on this excursion to Vergina and Veria. We'll leave Thessaloniki behind to discover two cities brimming with history and culture.

First up is Veria, noted for its religious history. Here, you will have 1 hour of free time to explore the Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches and stroll through the old quarters.

Next, we will head to Vergina, known in ancient times as Aegae, the first capital of the ancient Macedonian Kingdom. Upon arrival, we will visit the New Museum of Aigai, focused on the history of ancient Macedonia, featuring exhibits of artefacts from Egas.

Our next stop will be the Museum of the Royal Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we will see the royal tomb of Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, along with gold treasures from the 4th century BC.

You will have free time to eat before we return to the meeting point in Thessaloniki, arriving 7 hours later.
