From Thessaloniki: Day Trip to Dion and Mount Olympus Park - The 8:00 AM departure from central Thessaloniki

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,046 reviews · 10 hours · from $58Our pick

Spend 10 hours pairing ancient Dion with a gentle but sometimes steep walk to Agia Kori waterfall. Swim in its cold emerald pool, visit the Olympus Information Center, and eat in Litochoro. Guides such as Eva, George, and SiSi add Greek mythology and local history along the way. Dion entry and lunch cost extra.

“This was my third trip with Ammon Express, and the only time there has been a change. I was in Thessaloniki during a serious and dangerous heat wave, and when we got to Mt Olympus, police had shut it down for the day for fire prevention. I think most of us on the tour understood the precautions and that the company had no control over this. So we missed the walk/swim, but were able to do everything else, and it was still a lovely day. Our guide SiSi did her best to keep everyone happy, and our bus driver was excellent. And oh, how we all appreciated the fantastic air…”
