Description

Duration: 8 hours
* This tour offers a unique journey to the foot of the legendary Olympus, the mountain where, according to myths, the ancient Greek gods lived. You will visit the archaeological park of Dion, the holy city of the Macedonians, where the temples of Zeus, the Roman baths with amazing mosaics and the ancient theater have been preserved. In the local museum you will see artifacts telling about religious cults of antiquity. Next, you will find the picturesque village of Litochoro, an ideal starting point for a walk through the Enipea Gorge. An easy route along the mountain river will lead to a waterfall, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of these places. If desired, the program can be expanded: visit the Byzantine monastery of St. Dionysius, hidden in the rocks; explore the medieval fortress of Platamonas with panoramic sea views; or look into the traditional village of Old Panteleimon, where the authentic way of life has been preserved. This tour perfectly combines ancient history, natural beauty and Greek traditions. You will learn how myths are intertwined with real archaeological finds, and feel the special atmosphere of places that have inspired poets and artists for centuries.
