VERGINA

One of the most emotional experiences one can have in Greece is to visit the tombs of King Philip II, the Macedonian idol and father of Alexander the Great. Real temples housing the very weapons and artifacts used by the adored leader are displayed and preserved for the newer generations to admire. Not only the visitors have access to the actual constructions, they can see the embellished larnax that keep his mortal remains, with his gold grave crown suspended above it. A UNESCO heritage site,

this historic treasure represents the paving to expansion of the Hellenic culture and

of the principles that influenced and defined the Western world as we know it.
