Description

A 13 hours trip  from Corfu starts at 07.30 to Vergina, a modern village, and following the discovery the site was identified as Aigai, the ancient capital of the Macedonian kings, together with its cemetery. Vergina is one of those finds which archaeologists dream about - a well preserved discovery, proven association with a famous historical person, and real treasure! A tumulus measuring about 110m wide by 13m high turned out to cover some tombs. Not just any old tombs, either. One of them was identified as that of Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great. Another is thought to belong to Alexander IV, the son of Alexander the Great.
