DION & MOUNTAIN OLYMPUS TOUR: THE HOME OF THE GODS
Dion & Mountain Olympus Tour is the perfect choice for people who love nature, mythology and history equally.
WHY VISIT DION AND MOUNTAIN OLYMPUS
Mountain Olympus has captivated the imagination of people ever since the ancient times. Looking at the mountain, rising imposingly right across Thessaloniki, it immediately makes sense why the ancient Greeks would choose it to be the “Home of the Gods”.
It also makes sense why the ancient Macedonians decided to build a sacred city full of sanctuaries right there and host theater and athletic events dedicated to Zeus and the Muses.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS DION AND MOUNTAIN OLYMPUS TOUR
On this Dion & Mountain Olympus Tour we are going to visit the ancient city of Dion, built on the slopes of Olympus. It was the Macedonians’ sacred city, home of some of their most important sanctuaries and altars, and the place where Alexander launched his legendary campaign from. Over there we are going to visit both the arhcaeological site (or “archaeological park” as it is called because of the lush nature around it) and the archaeological museum to admire all the artifacts that were found during the excavations.
Then, we will visit the picturesque town of Litochoro and make a small hike on Enipeas gorge in order to enjoy amazing views of the mountain. Of course, no tour would be complete without lunch at a local spot!
