Travel Guide Amphipolis

A little away from the big cities and tourist destinations, the site of Amphipolis is a good stopover on a journey from Kavala to Thessaloniki. Starting point of Alexander the Great's expedition to Asia, it is also a great ancient city of which unfortunately not much remains. In addition to a museum, the presence on its acropolis of paleochristian basilicas lends considerable interest to the site. In 2014, Greek archaeologists also revealed nearby the presence of a Macedonian tomb of great importance with exceptional mosaics. Getting there. You need a car to visit everything as the monuments are widely spaced.
