On this tour to Dion and Mount Olympus from Thessaloniki you will experience a unique adventure that will transport you to the historical heart of ancient Greece.

On this approximately eight-hour tour, you will travel in an air-conditioned luxury minivan accompanied by a professional guide. Together, you will discover the grandeur of the region's most legendary civilisation.

The adventure begins at the Dion Archaeological Park. As you wander through the well-preserved ruins of temples and theatres, you will hear the legends and historical facts that bring these centuries-old stones to life, to feel closer to the gods and heroes that once inhabited this sacred place.

Afterwards, you will head towards the imposing slopes of Mount Olympus. As you ascend, you will witness the transformation of the landscape: lush forests, waterfalls and the freshness of the mountain air will surround you.

At an imposing 2,918 metres above sea level, this divine colossus rises as the pinnacle of all Greece. Since time immemorial, it has been revered for its central role in Greek mythology, regarded as the abode of the supreme gods, headed by Zeus, the king of the Olympians.

You will arrive at a panoramic viewpoint where you can marvel at the majesty of the highest mountain in the country, feeling a connection with the nature and mythology that surrounds it.

At every step, you will be enveloped by the tranquillity of the surroundings, as the murmur of the river and the chirping of birds accompany you on your way. This short but exhilarating walk will allow you to connect with the surrounding nature and appreciate the majesty of the mountain from a unique perspective.

    As a devotee of ancient stories, this excursion was a treat. Dion looked like a storybook, and Mount Olympus took us to the heights of mythology. If only the museum at Dion had been open, it would have been a perfect day!

    As a history enthusiast, this excursion was a dream come true. The ruins at Dion are fascinating, and Mount Olympus adds a mythical touch. My only complaint would be that I would have liked more time at Dion, but I understand that there was a lot to cover in one day!
