Macedonia, Greece’s largest geographic region, lies in the north of the country—a land of bold landscapes, deep history, and powerful identity. It is a place where snow-capped mountains meet golden plains, and where ancient legacies echo through vibrant, modern cities.

This is the homeland of Alexander the Great, one of history’s most iconic figures. At Vergina, visitors can witness the royal tombs of the ancient Macedonian kings, including Philip II, Alexander’s father. The region is steeped in the grandeur of the ancient kingdom that once reshaped the world.

At its heart lies Thessaloniki, Greece’s dynamic second city—cosmopolitan, youthful, and rich in culture. From its Byzantine walls and Roman ruins to its waterfront promenade and buzzing cafes, Thessaloniki is where past and present flow together effortlessly. The city’s multicultural history—once home to Greeks, Jews, Ottomans, and Slavs—adds a unique depth to its atmosphere.

Beyond the cities, Macedonia is blessed with natural wonders. The majestic Mount Olympus, mythical home of the gods, rises along the southern edge. The serene Prespa and Doirani Lakes, the waterfalls of Edessa, and the vineyards of Naousa and Drama showcase the region’s diversity and beauty.

Macedonia also boasts strong cultural traditions—from folk dances and music to rich cuisine known for hearty flavors, local meats, and wines that rival the best in Europe.

Both proud and welcoming, Macedonia is a land that bridges eras and cultures—a place where you don’t just see history, you feel it in the stones, taste it in the food, and hear it in the rhythm of everyday life.
