Morning: Museum of Pella (9:00 - 10:30 AM)
Begin your journey at the birthplace of Alexander the Great, where ancient Pella served as the magnificent capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. This state-of-the-art museum houses extraordinary mosaics that once adorned royal palaces, including the famous Dionysus mosaic and the spectacular lion hunt scene. Your private guide will reveal how this cosmopolitan city shaped young Alexander's worldview and showcase artifacts that paint a vivid picture of daily life in ancient Macedonia's golden age.
Mid-Morning: Polycentric Museum of Aigai (11:00 AM - 12:15 PM)
Step into the heart of Macedonia's original capital at this remarkable museum complex. Here, cutting-edge technology brings ancient Aigai to life through immersive displays and multimedia presentations. You'll explore the royal quarter's remains while learning about the political intrigue, cultural achievements, and military innovations that made Macedonia a dominant force in the ancient world.
Afternoon: Aigai Palace (12.30 - 1.30 PM)
After a traditional Greek lunch, explore the actual ruins of the palace where Philip II held court and where the fate of the ancient world was decided. Walk through the same halls where Alexander received his education from Aristotle, where diplomatic missions were received, and where the plans for conquering the Persian Empire were conceived. The panoramic views across the Macedonian plains provide a breathtaking backdrop to stories of royal ceremonies and political machinations.
Grand Finale: Royal Tombs of Vergina (2:00 - 3:00 PM)
The crown jewel of your journey awaits. Descend into the underground museum that houses the most significant archaeological discovery in Greece - the intact tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great.
