1.Visiting the Royal Tombs at Vergina
Visiting the Royal Tombs at Vergina (ancient Aigai) is to travel to the epicentre of the famous Kingdom of Macedonia, which ruled supreme in Greece and far beyond in the 4th century BC. This is where King Philip II of Macedon lived and died from 382-336BC and where his son, Alexander the Great, was crowned before setting out on his legendary empire-building quest. Today, Vergina allows us to enjoy an extraordinary insight into the ancient capital of Macedonia less than hour from Katerini.
2.Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, enjoying a waterfront location at the Thermaic Gulf in Macedonia.

One of the greatest monuments of the world, protected by UNESCO and characterized by it as “A Preserved and Protected Monument of Humanity”, Meteora is the most important (after Aghios Oros) monastic center in Greece. There are 6 Meteora monasteries perched on the huge cliffs people can visit today.
