Veria
A City with a Thousand Stories: Byzantine Heritage, Riverside Strolls, and Authentic Macedonian Hospitality
The third most important city of the Byzantine Empire, also known as the “Little Jerusalem,” is built at the foothills of Mount Vermio, offering stunning views of the vast Imathia plain. Surrounded by the Pieria Mountains and the Aliakmon River, its beauty is unparalleled. A key attraction and major 20th-century archaeological discovery in Greece are the Royal Tombs, including the tomb of Philip II, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire the Veroia plain with its thousands of blossoming peach trees, forming an endless sea of pink.
