The entire trip was amazing: the guide Rita was truly helpful, she let everyone enjoy the sightings at their own pace, without hurrying anyone, but also looking up after everybody so no one would get lost. She also provide it us with insightful ancient history lessons and also about the landmarks. The driver Harris was also great, he drove very carefully and helped Rita to watch out after us. The views from Mountain Olympus are more than spectacular, also you can delve into the ancient history by visiting the archeological site from Dion and the museum located there. This is a trip I encourage anyone to take!

We had an amazing time with our guide Nepheli, who was extremely kind and helpful! The archeological park of Dion and the mont Olympus park are both beautiful and peaceful places, perfect for lovers of calm and nature. The museum is nice, although small, but it's a good time to make a stop, have a coffee at the tavern next and look at the beautiful mosaic of Dionysos inside. The walk in the parc was around 20 mins, very easy, with a great view on the peaks of Olympus and a waterfall at the end. One of iur favourite times in the region!

Absolutely fantastic! The site of Dion was enormous and fascinating. Layers of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history with archaeologists actively expanding the story. I was moved by how beautiful the nature was at the site with its lovely spring. The village and mount Olympus hike were stunning. One could feel the area was sacred. Thanks to Margarita our excellent tour guide!
