Pella
The archaeological site of ancient Pella, once the capital of the Macedonian kingdom and a centre of political, military, and cultural life, sits just outside this small hilltop village in Central Macedonia. The modern settlement serves as the base for visiting the ancient ruins, which preserve remains from both the classical and Roman periods, with mountains visible from the surrounding plain and UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
