Discover one of Greece’s most important archaeological treasures on this private cultural journey from Thessaloniki to the UNESCO-listed Royal Tombs of Vergina (Ancient Aigai). Designed with cruise passengers in mind, this tour is fully customized to your ship’s arrival and departure schedule, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.
