Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 8 hours
* Discover two amazing corners of Northern Greece, where ancient history meets stunning nature. This tour will take you back to the heyday of the Macedonian Kingdom and present you with one of the most picturesque natural wonders of the region. Your journey will begin in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia, where Alexander the Great was born and grew up. You will see the place where the character of the future conqueror of the world was formed. The Archaeological Museum of Pella will reveal to you the treasures of the ancient era: elegant mosaics that have preserved the brightness of colors after thousands of years, household items and art that tell about the life of the ancient Macedonians. Special attention should be paid to the magnificent mosaic depicting deer hunting, a true masterpiece of ancient masters. Walking among the ruins of the ancient city, you can imagine what Pella looked like during its heyday. You will see the remains of the royal palace, where fateful decisions were made, the ancient Agora, the center of public life, and other structures that will help you feel the spirit of that era. After diving into ancient history, you will enjoy a contrasting change of scenery — a visit to Edesa, the city of waterfalls. Here, nature has created an amazing landscape where crystal clear waters descend from a height, forming picturesque cascades. You can take beautiful photos against the backdrop of waterfalls, stroll through the cozy streets of the city and enjoy lunch at one of the local taverns serving traditional Greek cuisine. This tour is ideal for those who want to explore the rich historical heritage of Greece and enjoy its natural beauty in one day. The convenient location of Pella and Edesa (just 45 minutes and 1.5 hours drive from Thessaloniki, respectively) makes the route comfortable and eventful. Organizational details: the tour is designed for a full day, entrance tickets to the archaeological area of Pella are paid separately.
