1️⃣

Lion of Amphipolis

The Lion of Amphipolis is a large marble statue from ancient Greece, built around the 4th century BC. It is believed to honor an important general of that time. Standing over 8 meters tall, it symbolizes strength and respect. Some believe it once stood above a significant tomb. It is one of the most impressive monuments in the area.

2️⃣

Amphipolis Museum

The Amphipolis Museum displays archaeological finds from the region, dating from prehistoric to Byzantine times. One of its most important exhibits is the tomb of the Spartan general Brasidas, which includes remarkable items such as a gold olive wreath and a silver box. The museum offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of Amphipolis through real ancient artifacts.

3️⃣

Ancient Wooden Bridge of Amphipolis

The ancient wooden bridge was 275 meters long and located north of Gate C, in the direction of the river. Today, only 101 wooden piles remain, which formed the foundation of the bridge. On top of these, a system of beams would have supported the wooden deck of the bridge.

Refreshment Stop “Stou Bakali”

A traditional refreshment spot in the center of the village, where visitors can enjoy local appetizers and authentic Greek flavors.
