During our Viking's Greek Odyssey cruise, we visited Mt. Olympus when in Volos and strolled through the archeological site. These are highlights from the excavated areas and the museum artifacts. “The Archaeological Museum of Dion is a museum in Dion in the Pieria regional unit of Central Macedonia, Greece. This excursion was provided by Viking and entitled CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE & MT. OLYMPUS.
Dion is the major religious center of Ancient Greece due to its proximity to Mt. Olympus. We saw the Temple of Zeus, the god of gods, and those of Demeter and Isis—an Egyptian goddess and favorite of Alexander the Great. We admired the well-preserved theaters built during the Hellenistic and Roman eras and saw the mosaic representing Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility.
Afterward, we had a lovely lunch at the village of Litochoro which had beautiful views of Mt. Olympus.
Happy and safe travels to all!
