Why take this tour?

This is the only place where a visitor can experience unique finds you can see nowhere else in the world. The Vergina gold treasures and royal tombs are the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th century in Greece. The classical pebble mosaics of Pella are the only ones from the 4th century BC found in such a good condition in the ruined villas. Visit the two Macedonian kingdom capitals at your own pace, learn about this great ancient kingdom of Philip and Alexander and enjoy a traditional taverna lunch in between.
