I had done a lot of research before going to Greece, but I never realised this is such an amazing place. I suppose it is not well known because firstly it is in a remote location, and the guide books I consulted did not give elaborate descriptions. We were on a long drive from Meteora to Thessaloniki (a conducted tour by bus) and there were groans and moans when the bus stopped at Vergina. Everyone was tired and a bit irritated. But, all that totally vanished when we saw this magnificent museum. To a man (and woman!) we were tremendously impressed. This is called "Royal" for a simple reason: it holds the tomb of Phillip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and another tomb which is reputed to be that of Alexander's son. There is some doubt about whether the latter is really the place where Alexander's son is buried, our guide gave us both sides of the story. But, the piece de resistance is Phillip's tomb, and the various artefacts relating to it in the museum. Several very large and very beautiful gold objects. Phillip was buried with all these things, along with his most recent wife. She agreed (or was forced!) to die and join him in the after-life. Fortunately grave looters did not get to this grave, (and the one purporting to be Alexander's son's) before they were properly excavated. A truly amazing museum, and really worth seeing. One of the highlights of my three week trip to Greece! (by the way, photos were allowed everywhere, except in the actual tombs).

We were very fortunate to visit the synagogue as the hotel owner next door arranged it with Evi, the knowledgeable keeper of the place. Thanks Vera and Evi
