Central Macedonia Essentials

Central Macedonia encompasses the historical core of the ancient Macedonian kingdom and the highest peaks of Greece. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Royal Tombs of Aigai and the ruins of Pella, the former capital. Thessaloniki contributes Roman landmarks like the Arch of Galerius alongside Byzantine churches. Natural highlights include the Mount Olympus massif, the waterfalls of Edessa, and Lake Kerkini, a significant wetland habitat. From the fortified walls of Platamonas Castle to the prehistoric Petralona Cave, the region preserves architectural and geological milestones spanning millennia.
