Vergina – Pella: In the Footsteps of the Macedonians
At Vergina, the underground Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai holds the unlooted tomb of Philip II with its golden wreaths and the larnax bearing the sixteen-ray star — one of the world's great archaeological discoveries (UNESCO).
The day continues at Pella, capital of the Macedonian kingdom and birthplace of Alexander the Great, famous for its pebble mosaics and modern museum.
