Tour of Ancient Amphipolis
Amphipolis founded as an Athenian colony in 438/7 BC & strategically located near the fertile mouth of the river Strymon and the Pangaion gold mines. Under the Macedonians, Amfipolis remained a flourishing city and an important economic and cultural center of the kingdom. Amphipolis is best known for the magnificent ancient Greek city (polis), and later Roman city, whose impressive remains can still be seen. It is famous in history for events such as the battle between the Spartans and Athenians in 422 BC, and also as the place where Alexander the Great prepared for campaigns leading to his invasion of Asia.
