BURCHY visited on 15th Oct 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Excellent site and well signed from motorway turn off for Kavala. Follow signs for Krenides and you will pick up the usual brown signs for Phillippi Archaeological site. Closed on Mondays but €3.00 entry fee gained access even when closed! Excellent car park and good catering facilities. Marvellous cup of tea! Highly recommended!

Colonists from Thasos founded the city of Krenides in 360/359 BCE. In 356 BCE the city besieged by the Thacians turned to king Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, for support. Philip conquered it, fortified it and renamed it Philippi after himself. After the battle of Philippi, in 42 BCE, the city became a Roman colony.
