Overview

Begin your shore excursion with a visit to the Archaeological Site of Dion, the sacred city of ancient Macedonia dedicated to Zeus. According to tradition, Alexander the Great offered sacrifices here before setting out on his campaigns, underscoring Dion’s importance as a religious and cultural centre of the Macedonian Kingdom.

Walk among the well-preserved remains of temples, baths, theatres, and ancient streets, gaining insight into daily life and ceremonial practices in antiquity. Continue to the on-site museum, where a rich collection of statues, mosaics, and everyday objects brings the city’s history to life. Highlights include the Hydraulis, one of the world’s earliest known musical instruments.

After your archaeological visit, relax at a boutique winery set amid the scenic foothills of Mount Olympus and the Pieria Mountains. Enjoy a guided tasting of selected wines made from local and international grape varieties, accompanied by homemade regional delicacies.
