Lion hunt mosaic, Pella
This mountainous peninsula of mainland Greece, with its rugged and dramatic landscapes, was once home to two of the greatest rulers of the ancient world; Philip II and Alexander the Great. This groundbreaking tour is mainly based in historic Thessaloniki, capital of Northern Greece; a World Heritage centre full of beautiful churches and Roman palaces. Nearby we discover Alexander the Great’s birthplace and capital, the ancient Greek city of Pella and explore the ancient sacred city of Dion, the religious centre of the Kingdom of Macedonia. We also visit the spectacular Royal Tombs at Vergina, resting place of the murdered Phillip II of Macedon
