点评:The site is VERY interesting if only because of its location up on a mountain. However, our visit was overall disappointing. The site is not only disorganised but there is obviously lack of investment in order to optimise the experience for visitors.
The worst part was that the famous mosaic, which was the main reason for our visit, was not there to see. We were told that it's only exhibited between certain times in the year. I specifically checked the website to plan our visit but there was no information to that effect and I assumed that everything would be open as normal. Imagine climbing a kilometre in the heat to reach the palace, only to find out that the main attraction is not there to see. It would seem that there is lack of organisation or respect for visitors. It's also incredible that the mosaic is not exhibited throughout the year. The member of staff that was there said that was in order to protect it from the weather conditions. I will add some photos from a Roman site in the UK to this review, so that they can see how this problem has been dealt with and the mosaics are exhibited throughout the year, in spite of much rainier and colder weather. Where there is the will there is the way.
Sadly, this was not the only problem here. The site is a really steep climb through the mountain without a single warning sign as to this situation. No benches along the way for visitors to rest. The palace is in a beautiful location but mostly consists of modern reconstructions. You don't see anything original and there is only one sign about one of the rooms. Even the sanctuary of Heracles, the legendary founder of the royal house of Macedonia, was not signposted.
We left feeling disappointed, if not offended, at the lack of appreciation of the Greek Ministry of Culture for Macedonian history and its people.
翻译:这个地方非常有趣,只是因为它位于山上。然而,我们的访问总体上令人失望。这个地方不仅组织混乱,而且显然缺乏投资来优化游客的体验。
最糟糕的是,我们来这里的主要原因是著名的马赛克,却不见了。我们被告知它只在一年中的某些时间展出。我特意查看了网站来计划我们的访问,但没有这方面的信息,我以为一切都会正常开放。想象一下,在炎热的天气里爬上一公里到达宫殿,却发现主要景点不见了。似乎缺乏组织或对游客的尊重。令人难以置信的是,马赛克不是全年展出。那里的工作人员说,这是为了保护它免受天气影响。我将在本篇评论中添加一些来自英国罗马遗址的照片,以便他们了解这个问题是如何解决的,以及马赛克全年如何展出,尽管雨水和寒冷的天气更多。有志者事竟成。
遗憾的是,这不是这里唯一的问题。该遗址位于非常陡峭的山上,没有一个警告标志来说明这种情况。沿途没有供游客休息的长椅。宫殿位于一个美丽的地方,但大部分都是现代重建的。你看不到任何原始的东西,只有一个关于其中一个房间的标志。即使是传说中的马其顿王室创始人赫拉克勒斯的圣所也没有路标。
我们对希腊文化部对马其顿历史及其人民缺乏欣赏感到失望,甚至感到被冒犯。
