Overview
Uncover the rich heritage of Northern Greece and savor its acclaimed wine culture on this unforgettable small-group excursion from Thessaloniki.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Ancient Dion, the sacred city once dedicated to Zeus and a spiritual center of the Macedonian Kingdom. Explore the well-preserved archaeological site, including temples, Roman baths, theaters, and ancient streets where Alexander the Great once walked before embarking on his legendary campaigns. At the Dion Archaeological Museum, discover impressive artifacts, statues, and mosaics — including the Hydraulis, one of the world’s earliest musical instruments.
After stepping back in time, unwind at a boutique winery nestled against the Pieria Mountains, with sweeping views of Mount Olympus. Enjoy a guided wine tasting of carefully crafted local and international varietals, paired with homemade regional delicacies. Stroll through the vineyard garden and soak in the peaceful setting — the perfect finale to a day of history and indulgence.
