Step into the world of Alexander the Great on a private 6-hour tour from Thessaloniki to Pella and Vergina, the two great capitals of Ancient Macedonia. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned Exit Bus vehicle with your own driver, hotel pickup and a flexible pace — no crowds, no fixed coach schedules, just your group and 2,300 years of history.
What You Will See
Pella — Birthplace of Alexander the Great
Pella is one of the most popular archaeological destinations in Greece. Walk among the ruins of the ancient palace and agora, admire remarkably preserved ancient mosaics, and visit the museum displaying Macedonian artifacts that bring the ancient city back to life.
Vergina — The Royal Tombs
At Vergina, the first capital of the Macedonian kingdom, you descend into the Royal Tombs of the ancient necropolis — including the famous gold larnax of King Philip II, father of Alexander. The museum and palace ruins complete one of Greece's most moving archaeological experiences.
