Thessaloniki

Ancient city of Dion

Pieria, Central Macedonia, 80 kilometers southwest of Thessaloniki, Greece

Description:

The ancient city of Dion, dedicated to Zeus, was previously less popular. Now, over time, it has become the largest tourist destination. It grew the legendary commander Alexander the Great, and in general, the area itself has many historical monuments.

The first thing to look at is the residential areas. Despite the earthquakes, they are well preserved. It should be noted that there is also a temple of Isis, which is the embodiment of the ideal of beauty of the girl. No less interesting are the artifacts that are presented in the Archaeological Museum. In the same area flows a river that originates from Mount Olympus. To see this place, you need to drive to the nome of Peria, located ninety kilometers from Thessaloniki.

Of course, you can get there by bus or train from the station located at 67 Monastirou.
