About this activity
Join Us on a Unique Self-Guided Travel Experience
Enjoy a private journey blending the royal heritage of ancient Macedonia with the beauty of Thessaloniki. Curated by an Ano Poli local, this features insider tips and urban legends for a seamless self-paced trip.
At the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai and the Polycentric Museum of Aigai, tour both sites at your own pace on a self-guided visit. Marvel at royal treasures of the Macedonian dynasty, such as the golden larnax of Philip II, alongside royal artifacts, ancient coins, and the gold-threaded ceremonial robe.
Returning to Thessaloniki, see the Church of Saint Demetrius, dating to the 4th century AD. Walk through UNESCO-listed Ano Poli, stopping at Hosios David Church, the Monastery of Vlatadon, and scenic spots overlooking the Thermaic Gulf.
Each booking includes a free copy of The Northern Table, handed to you in person. I was its culinary consultant. Made for my guests, this book is not for sale anywhere.
