Dion & Mt. Olympus

Religious Archaeological Site and Traditional Lunch Learn about the ancient gods of Greek mythology during a visit to the Archaeological Park of Dion. This village became a religious center during the Hellenistic period due to its proximity to the home of the ancient Greek gods—Mt. Olympus, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2026. Drive by motor coach to the Archaeological Park of Dion, where you will see temples dedicated to Zeus, Demeter and Isis—an Egyptian goddess and favorite of Alexander the Great. View the two amphitheaters built during the Hellenistic and Roman periods and discover the Villa Dionysus, named after a mosaic depicting the Greek god of wine and fertility. Continue your drive to Litochoro, where you will take a short walk before enjoying a three-course lunch at a local restaurant against the scenic backdrop of Mt. Olympus. After, return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
