The Ephorate's goal is to showcase the important monuments of ancient Evropos along the Axios river, within ancient Vottiaia, 800m south of the town of the same name and its surrounding area, and their incorporation into an extensive Hellenistic cultural route stretching from Thessaloniki and Pella to Europe, with stations at the burial mound of Messia (1 km south of ancient Europos), the archaeological site of Europos that includes the remains of the ancient city and important burial monuments of the Hellenistic, Roman and Early Christian times and the burial mounds in the community of Toumpa, eight km northeast of Europos, where the Kilkis Ephorate is already carrying out protection-restoration and promotion of two Hellenistic tombs with financing from the NSRF 2014-2020.
10 Archaeological sites you have to visit in Europe! Besides visiting museums, one of the best ways to learn about local history and culture while travelling is by exploring the archaeological sites. Since there are so many of them around Europe, I asked some of my fellow travel bloggers to share with me their favourite places.

A visit to the Acropolis should be on every culture lover’s travel bucket list. Possibly the most important site in ancient Greece, it looms large in the imaginations of people living the world over.
#4 – Roman Baths in Bath, England

#5 – Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy
Some of Rome’s most fascinating ruins, the Baths of Caracalla are also a working archaeological site. They were built in the 3rd century AD and were used for over 300 years by the people of Rome as their primary public bathing facility. In their prime, the baths could accommodate 1,600 bathers who enjoyed three main bathing chambers, open-air swimming pools and gardens as well as a huge public library. It was a huge site built with millions of bricks and comprising of at least 252 columns.
#6 – Zaragoza, Spain
Zaragoza is a city located in north-eastern Spain, with a history dating back thousands of years, to the “Caesaraugusta” period – over 2,050 years ago. It’s easy to visit from Barcelona or Madrid to Zaragoza by train, and visit it on a day trip.
#7 – Vindolanda, England
Vindolanda was a Roman fort town south of the eastern section of Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. It was occupied for about 300 years and was the residence of Roman soldiers, their families, and supporting services.
#8 – Herculaneum, Italy
Not far from Naples, in the shadow of Vesuvius, you’ll find one of Europe’s best archaeological sites. The Roman town of Herculaneum was destroyed by the same volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii, but in a different way. While Pompeii was buried in rocks that destroyed the roofs of its buildings and almost everything above the ground floor, in Herculaneum the town was hit by a 100 mph storm of superheated ash and poisonous gas.
#9 – Stonehenge, England
Stonehenge is one of the best-known archaeological sites in Europe and is visited easily as a day trip from London.
#10 – Glanum, France
Just outside the beautiful town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in Southern France lies the remains of another ancient city, Glanum. This Roman town dates back to the 2nd century BC, but it lay hidden mainly after being abandoned in 260 AD until excavations began at the beginning of the 20th century.
