Travellers will explore the birthplace of Alexander the Great with a guided visit to both the Archaeological Site of Pella and the Pella Museum. Walking among the remains of royal courtyards, public buildings, and ancient streets, guests gain insight into daily life in the capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. The highlight of the site is its remarkable pebble mosaics—among the finest preserved in Greece—depicting mythological scenes and revealing the artistic sophistication of ancient Macedonia.
