Ancient Macedonia tour (Pella & Vergina) from Bitola

We will arrive in Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great, and the historical capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon. We will visit the Archaeological Museum of Pella, located on the site of the ancient city, where, amongst the thousands of artifacts, you can see a statue, considered to be Alexander the Great’s portrait.

This is the place where Philip II of Macedon was assassinated, and Alexander the Great was proclaimed as king. The ancient site was discovered in 1976. Royal tombs of many kings were excavated, along with the untouched tomb of Philip II of Macedon. The magnificent Museum of Royal Tombs of Aigai contains all the riches and artifacts found in the excavations, including King Philip’s Golden Larnax and Golden Grave Crown.
