Vergina Museum 

DESCRIPTION

Vergina (Greek: Βεργίνα) is a small town in northern Greece, located in the regional unit of Imathia, Central Macedonia. Since a 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Veroia, of which it is a municipal unit. The town became internationally famous in 1977, when the Greek archaeologist Manolis Andronikos unearthed what he claimed was the burial site of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. The finds established the site as the ancient Aigai, the first capital of the Macedons. The capital was later moved to Pella, but Aigai remained a site of religious importance throughout the Macedonian empires reign. 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.

The exhibition’s shelter has the external form of the Great Tumulus, a man-made mound, while the underground building has been housing since

November 1997 tombs and treasures found in them. This sheltered group includes three Macedonian tombs: the intact tomb of Philip II (I) with a hunting scene fresco painting. Intact is also the so-called Tomb of the Prince (II), which may belong to Alexander IV, grandson of Philip II and son of Alexander the Great as well as another ruined and plundered Macedonian tomb (III) of the third century BC.

The tour includes a visit of the newly completed exhibition bearing the Tombs and the finds of all 3 Tombs, one of them known as the Tomb of King Phillip II, father of Alexander the Great.

Mount Athos Day Cruise – One day excursion

Shaped like Poseidon’s trident and sticking out into the Aegean Sea, Halkidiki is a treat for visitors. Lush green forests that reach right down to the beach; golden sunlight reflected in the turquoise waters; a traditional style with a rich gastronomic and cultural heritage. Endless coves, unique architectural sites, perfectly preserved Christian monument and a host of unexplored treasures all add their own rich touch to the unique canvas that is Halkidiki.

We will have the unique opportunity to take a cruise and admire Mount Athos (Greek: Όρος Άθως). Athos is a mountain and peninsula in Macedonia, Greece. A World Heritage Site and self-governed state in the Hellenic Republic, Athos is home to 20 stavropegial  Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople. Today Greeks commonly refer to Mount Athos as the “Holy Mountain” (Greek: Agion Oros). Being on board you will have the chance to watch this cultural treasure under the lovely Greek sky.

On the way back you will have free time at Ouranoupolis. Try the delicious fresh fish in a  traditional Greek tavern of the quaint fishing village or a typical Greek snack. Ouranoupolis  is an ancient city and a modern village in Halkidiki. It was founded by Cassander in the late 4th century BC. The village of Ouranoupolis is situated on the coastline in the northwest part (the very beginning) of the Athos peninsula, part of the bigger Halkidiki peninsula.
This is a great package for participants looking to combine relaxation and exploration!
