Olympus - Dion - Vergina.

Description:

The majestic peaks of Olympus for thousands of years caused people a sacred awe and it is not by chance that the ancient Greeks settled their gods on them.

One of the highest mountains in Europe, the two highest peaks of which were inhabited by ancient Greek gods. The Pantheon is the residence of the Olympic lucky ones, and the Throne of Zeus is the personal residence of the king of the gods. From the observation deck on the slopes of Olympus, near the sacred valley of the Muses, you can look through the cloud veil into the dwelling of the Greek gods.

The most solemn celebrations in honor of Zeus and other Olympians took place at the foot of Olympus in the holy city of Dion – the religious capital of not only Macedonia, but all ancient Greece.

This greatness, imbibed with the milk of his mother by the king of Macedonia Alexander, became the driving force in his truly great deeds. And if the location of the tomb of Alexander the Great is still a mystery to scientists around the world, the burial place of his father, Philip II, who created excellent conditions for the great achievements of his great son, is known and preserved for us not only the remains of this no less great king, but also many real treasures stored today in the unique Museum of Vergina.

The royal tombs of Macedonia will amaze you with the filigree work of jewelers of gray antiquity, with which it would be difficult to compete even with modern masters, with all the technological achievements of our time. Magnificent frescoes, weapons, armor and the highlight of the entire exposition - the golden crowns of princesses and Philip himself - fill the brilliance of the royal grandeur of antiquity with the mound-museum of the royal tombs of Vergina.
