Small Group Tour - Dion’s Ancient Treasures & Wine
Overview
Begin your adventure with a visit to the Archaeological Site and Museum of Dion, the sacred city of ancient Macedonia dedicated to Zeus, where Alexander the Great is said to have offered sacrifices before embarking on his legendary campaigns.
Stroll through the impressive remains of temples, baths, theaters, and ancient streets, gaining insight into Dion’s significance as a religious and cultural hub of the Macedonian Kingdom. Inside the museum, admire a fascinating collection of statues, mosaics, everyday artifacts, and the renowned Hydraulis—one of the oldest known musical instruments in the world.
After immersing yourself in history, unwind at a boutique winery set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Olympus and the Pieria mountains. Relax in the vineyard’s scenic garden and enjoy a tasting of premium wines, crafted from both local and international grape varieties, thoughtfully paired with homemade regional delicacies.
