Ancient strategic city on the banks of the Strymon River, Amphipolis preserves ruins, monuments, and traces from different eras. From the famous Lion to the Kasta tumulus and the remains of the ancient city, it offers a fascinating journey into the history of Greek Macedonia.
Explore the remains of the ancient city, founded in the 5th century BC and later becoming an important Macedonian center. Among the ruins, you can make out parts of the walls, public buildings, and traces of city life.
The museum brings together finds discovered in the ancient city and its surroundings, including sculptures, inscriptions, and everyday objects. It is a useful stop to add context to your visit to the archaeological area.
This monumental stone lion, a symbol of the area, stands near the Strymon River and impresses with its size and grandeur. Its dating and original function have been the subject of various interpretations.
The large Kasta tumulus is known for the monumental tomb discovered inside it, dating back to the Hellenistic period. The site lies outside the ancient center, and access to the excavation areas may be subject to restrictions.
The remains of the bridge over the Strymon testify to the importance of connections for the city and for the region’s trade. The area allows visitors to appreciate the relationship between the ancient settlement and the river.

To visit the Amphipolis area, it is convenient to have a car, since the archaeological site, the museum, and the surroundings are spread across several locations. The roads connect the town with Serres, Kavala, and the coast, but it is best to check the route and traffic conditions in advance. Regional buses can be an alternative, although services and connections vary: check the timetable before setting off. Inside the site, you walk on paths that can sometimes be uneven and not very shaded.
Spring and early autumn are the most pleasant times to visit Amphipolis, with generally milder temperatures and conditions well suited to walks among the archaeological remains. In summer, the heat can be intense, especially in the middle of the day: it is best to plan your visit for the morning or late afternoon. Before setting off, check the opening hours of the site and museum, as they may change with the season.
To eat, look for the tavernas in Amphipolis and nearby villages: they often serve home-style Greek cuisine, grilled meats, seasonal vegetables, and local dishes. Closer to the coast, you can also find fish and seafood, depending on availability. In quieter periods, some places may have reduced hours, so it is useful to check in advance or ask locally for advice.
