Alexander the Great . Stroll around the 2.500 sq. mt. of symposium parlors and explore rooms with incredibly well-preserved mosaic
floors of the 4th century B.C built by small natural pebbles, matched and laid in portrayed scenes such as the lion hunt of god
Dionysos riding a panther. A whole city was revealed after excavations in 1957, well preserved in time , giving you the opportunity to
use your imagination and along with history knowledge provided by the experienced guide to picture the predominance of the
Ancient Kingdom of Macedonia.
