Mount Olympus-Dion Day Trip and 24 hour City Sightseeing Thessaloniki Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Olympus-Dion Day Trip

Legend has it that the incredible Mount Olympus was home to the 12 Olympian gods. Only a mountain as monumental as Olympus could survive heavyweight tenants like Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, and Aphrodite! On our amazing day tour, you’ll combine a trek in the foothills of Greece’s highest peak with a visit to the amazing archaeological site of Dion as well as a stop in a traditional Greek village.

How about starting off your day by walking in the footsteps of the ancient Greek gods? Our luxury coach will take you straight to the astonishing archaeological site of Dion. Marvel at this 5th-century BC site and learn all about its fascinating history as the site of the original Olympics, which were a little different from the modern Olympic Games! In the 5th century BC, it was all about festivals and making sacrifices to Zeus. Throughout the day, you’ll be accompanied by one of our fun, friendly and knowledgeable guides, who will give you the lowdown on what life was like back in 500 BC for gods and mortals.

Next up: the majestic Mount Olympus! Don’t worry if you’re not feeling up to the herculean task of climbing nearly 3000 meters to the summit! On our tour, you’ll enjoy a pleasant 20-minute trek through the country’s first-ever national park, the magical Enipeas Gorge, with the spectacular backdrop of Olympus. You’ll find it difficult not to fall in love with this area with its pretty natural pools, charming wooden bridges, and verdant riverbanks. That’s not to mention the wildlife that can be found in the national park, including wolves, jackals, and deer, among others.

The final stop on the tour is in the picturesque village of Litochoro, where you can wander cobbled streets, admire the typical stone houses, and, if you’re feeling peckish, grab a bite to eat in a traditional taverna.
