"Myth & History" Mount Olympus & Dion

Our journey to Myth and History starts by visiting the ancient city and sanctuary of Dion, dedicated to the most important and
powerful Olympic God , Zeus, the king of ancient Greek Dodecatheon and the ruler of the universe. The ancient people used to
make sacrifices in the name of gods to please or appease them, among them the Great King of Macedonia, Alexander. In the
archaeological site of Dion we see a large temple dedicated to Zeus, and a series of temples dedicated to Demeter and Isis (the
Egyptian god with the ability to create and destroy life), unique mosaic floors and ancient baths and ruins. Moving on, our
experienced guide will lead you to the Dion Museum , where you will admire the ancient statues, relics and findings that were found
in the site and listen to the myths and stories about everyday life of the people in ancient Dion. After our historical part of the day,
join us for a breathtaking combination of stunning natural landscapes with rich cultural experiences. Our next stop begins at the
Stavros Viewpoint, where you'll be treated to panoramic views of Mount Olympus and the surrounding valleys. This scenic spot is
perfect for photography, offering opportunities to capture the majesty of Greece’s highest mountain.
After soaking in the views, we’ll make our way to the charming village of Litochoro. Stroll through its picturesque streets, where
traditional architecture meets vibrant local life. You’ll have time to explore quaint shops, savor authentic Greek cuisine in local
tavernas, and learn about the village’s connection to the legends of Olympus.
Optional Adventure: Enipeas Gorge
For those seeking a bit more adventure, we offer an optional visit to the Enipeas Gorge. This stunning natural wonder features
impressive rock formations and lush vegetation, providing a perfect setting for a short hike. Experience the serenity of nature as you
follow the gorge’s trails, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the crystal-clear waters that flow through it.
Tip: Do not forget to ask your guide about gastronomic recommendations!
