3.Vergina and Pella Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 673 reviews · 8.5 hours · from $58Top rated

Travel by air-conditioned bus from Thessaloniki to Pella and Vergina with an English-speaking guide. See Alexander the Great’s ancient capital, Philip II’s royal tombs, golden grave goods, Macedonian weapons, and two modern museums. Allow €40 for site admission and bring cash.

“The trip was exactly as described. The only improvement is if it could include the palace above Vergina but there was insufficient time and even giving up lunch was unlikely to give time to walk around the excavated foundations. I liked that we were given a general description by the guide then time to ourselves, and Yiannis was happy to answer questions”
