The journey continues to the Polycentric Museum of Aigai and the awe-inspiring Museum of the Royal Tombs at Aigai, located in the ancient capital of the Macedonian kingdom. Here, history reveals one of its most extraordinary treasures: the royal tombs of the Macedonian dynasty. Among them lies the tomb of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. The museum offers a unique, almost reverent atmosphere, as you witness golden artefacts, intricate burial goods, and the legacy of a royal lineage that shaped the course of history.
Last but not least, the Archaeological Site of Dion, the sacred city of the ancient Macedonians, nestled at the foot of the legendary Mount Olympus, believed to be the home of the twelve gods of Greek mythology. As you walk through its ancient ruins, sanctuaries, and theatres, you will feel the spiritual and historical significance that made Dion a central place of worship and gathering for centuries.
