Desde Salónica: Excursión de un día a Vergina-Pella

Aspectos más destacados

Conozca la capital imperial, la antigua ciudad donde nació y creció Alejandro Magno y donde el gran filósofo y tutor Aristóteles fue invitado a educarle. Los tesoros arqueológicos del glorioso reino macedonio de Alejandro Magno y su padre Filipo II, tal y como los detalla Heródoto, le invitan a un viaje único por carretera hacia la historia. La excursión le transporta a la historia antigua griega, bizantina y moderna devolviendo a la luz el prestigio perdido de Aigai, la primera ciudad de los macedonios. Descubra el museo de Aigai; Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO, frente a la belleza natural de la zona y la vista de la llanura macedonia que recorre nuestra mirada hasta el final del horizonte.

Descripción

Salimos hacia Pella con el autobus de Ammon Express junto con nuestro amable asistente de viaje-arqueologo,

a las 08:00 desde la Plaza de Aristoteles & Calle Egnatia (en la estatua de Venizelos).

La distancia es de unos 50 km y dura unos 45'.

Llegamos a Pella, que en la antiguedad solia ser un puerto, donde visitamos el nuevo y moderno museo asi como el yacimiento arqueologico con los unicos mosaicos. En el yacimiento arqueológico podemos admirar el antiguo mercado de la ciudad, el mosaico del "Rapto de Helena" y la "Amazonomaquia" (la batalla de las Amazonas). En el museo se exponen objetos y artefactos de la vida cotidiana del pueblo; signos característicos del estilo de vida en la antigüedad.

Luego, llegamos a Vergina donde visitamos el Museo de las Tumbas Reales de Aigai, situado en los límites del pueblo. El característico Larnax de oro (ataúd funerario), una urna con los restos incinerados de Felipe II, está marcado con un sol de 16 rayos, el símbolo de Macedonia. El Sol de Vergina (o Estrella de Vergina), símbolo característico de la dinastía Argead (del rey Felipe II y Alejandro Magno) fue hallado junto con las excavaciones que sacaron a la luz la Tumba Real de su padre. 4 de los rayos de sol representan los 4 elementos clásicos y los otros 12 rayos de sol representan a los 12 dioses olímpicos. Admire la corona de roble dorado que tenía Felipe II durante su pira funeraria, armaduras militares, diversos ajuares funerarios, las otras tumbas que volvieron a la luz y un pequeño santuario, el Heroon.

Más tarde, disfrutaremos de nuestra pausa para el almuerzo en un restaurante con sabores tradicionales griegos.

Salimos hacia Tesalónica hacia las 15:30h y estamos de vuelta al cabo de una hora (hacia las 16:30h), haciendo las mismas paradas de donde partimos.
