Archeological Site of Vergina
Vergina in the foothills of Mt. Pieria was the first capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia, called Aigai. The site of the Royal Tombs under a modern roof hosts the main excavation, as well as an exhibition of the major finds from the burials. It is protected by UNESCO as world cultural heritage and comprises a unique discovery of an enormous universal impact.
Known as the tomb of Philip II of Macedonia, Vergina is one of the most beautiful sites in Greece.
Vergina is composed of three points of interest: the Macedonian tomb located 50 m on the left, after having crossed the modern Vergina village and taken the direction of the palace on the right; the palace and the theatre of Aegean at the end of this junction; and finally, the royal tombs that we will reach on our way back to the village.
