About this experience

This is a private tour on Greek mythology, culture and nature

Journey to the legendary home of the ancient Greek Gods, Mount Olympus, and explore the sacred city of the Macedonians on this full-day adventure. Our first stop is the archaeological park of Dion, located on the lush green foothills of the mountain. We'll explore the fascinating ruins of this once-great sacred town, where ancient sanctuaries are hidden among streams and trees. The guided tour will continue to the Dion Archaeological museum exhibition. After exploring Dion, we will experience the majesty of Mount Olympus itself, the most important National Park in Greece, by driving to its foothills. We will walk a pathway in the beautiful Enippeas gorge to take in the stunning natural scenery. Our day concludes with a relaxing break in the traditional mountain village of Litochoro, the main gateway to the climbers for the high peaks of Olympus.
