Tips from locals
amazing archaeological site, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alexander the Great's history starts from here!
It is worth visiting the tombs of Alexander the Great not far away from Thessaloniki aproximately an hour away drive. There are travel agencies that organize day trips.
The town is better known for its remains of Aigai, the first capital of Macedon. It was here in 336 BC that Philip II was assassinated in the theatre and Alexander the Great was proclaimed king.
