Explore the Legacy of Alexander the Great
Discover Ancient Macedonia on a self-guided journey at your own pace with a private driver-host offering local insights and recommendations throughout the day.
Follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great on a day trip starting from your hotel or cruise ship. Visit Pella Archaeological Site, the ancient capital of Macedonia, where you can self-explore the archaeological site and admire its world-famous mosaics. Continue to Vergina and visit the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai, where focused lighting showcases the royal treasures, including the golden larnax of Philip II. Then explore the Polycentric Museum of Aigai, home to ancient coins and the famous gold-threaded ceremonial garment of the Macedonian royal dynasty.
Each booking includes a complimentary copy of The Northern Table. I served as the book's gastronomic consultant. The book was created exclusively for my guests and is not available for sale.
