I would like to write in English because it is an amazing path. Starting from Myloys location in Litoxoro... you go to a path with very nice forest. The path is going close to the Enipeas river and the cold water and the rumor creating at some point an interesting situation. You are passing to the old monastery of Dionisios and the Cave to Dionisios . Finally, you arrive at Prionia location rand you can enjoy a nice soup

We spent more than two hours in Dion and loved it. The City area shows the sheer scale of the town and the large Cardo was reminiscent of streets in Pompeii. The only disappointment was the theatre with its ramshackle wooden seating. It was mind blowing to stand in the field where Alexander the Great pitched his massive tent and share the same view of Olympus that he had. An absolute must see.

Your entree ticket covers the museum, the archaeotheke and the archaeological park, so there's value for money for you ! Dion was the sacred city of the Macedonians, at the foot of Mountain Olympos, so the museum houses a lot of significant collections, covering both the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The excavations are fairly recent, only starting in the 1930-ies and the museum was build to house the best pieces unearthed from the necropolis and the sanctuaries and baths of the ancient city. There are some wonderful statues, especially the Dionysos, Isis and Aphrodite and the Asklepios Daughters ; also some really elegant bronze statues and votive & grave monuments (standing stone stelae). Of particular interest, of course, is the water organ or hydraulic organ - an amazing instrument, especially if you keep in mind it was used in the 1st-century BC. The Archaiothiki is a building adjacent to the museum ; it was build 10 years ago, specifically to exhibit the Dionysus mosaic ("the epiphany of the triumphant Dionysus"). It has a gallery upstairs all around the mosaic, so it can be viewed from all sides. Absolutely not to be missed !

The museum is again open after the COVID-19 pandemic. Here you can see numerous different minerals, fossils, rocks and crystals. Being an interactive museum, you will also have the chance to touch and hold many of them in your hands when you visit us. You will be sure to learn a lot about the geology of Olympus and Greece, properties of the minerals and other interesting facts that will travel you through the centuries. By visiting at night you will also have a chance to look through our telescope and observe a couple of planets and the moon, if the weather allows it. We are primarily giving tours in Greek, Serbian and English. We will be awaiting for your arrival!
