Top Thessaloniki Catamaran Cruises

Alexander the Great’s legacy is scattered across northern Greece, and visiting the key sites independently can mean missing the bigger historical picture. This full-day guided tour connects the story at its source, with visits to the Vergina Archaeological Site and the Pella Archaeological Site. Explore royal tombs, ancient ruins, and sweeping views across the Macedonian plain as your guide traces the region’s history from classical Greece through the Byzantine era to modern times.

Tracing the footsteps of Alexander the Great and other historical Macedonian figures can be tiring work, so savvy travelers will often schedule some downtime in Thessaloniki to rejuvenate. Instead of spending that time in a hotel or local spa, this tour offers the chance to bathe in the waters at the Loutra Pozar. Pozar's naturally warm water attracts visitors from throughout Macedonia, and this tour makes it easy to visit and bathe in a single day.

Leave Thessaloniki for a day and discover ancient Dion and Mt. Olympus without the stress of public transport or hire cars. Travel to Dion Archaeological Park, home to city ruins dating from the 6th century BC; and explore its relics and museum. Next, visit Mt. Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology, and swim in the refreshing waters of Agia Kori waterfall before returning.

Spare yourself the hassle of self-drive on this convenient tour of two key sites from ancient Macedonia: a must-do for fans of archaeology and ancient history. Start at Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great, then explore Aigai (Vergina), once the capital of Macedonia and now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the tomb of King Philip II, Alexander’s father. Your tour includes door-to-door transfers and guiding but excludes entrance fees.
