Archaeological Park of Dion, Archaeological site at Mount Olympus, Greece
The Archaeological Park of Dion extends across 150 hectares, featuring ancient sanctuaries, residential buildings, public structures, and bathhouses at Mount Olympus's northeastern foot.
During the Hellenistic period, Dion functioned as Macedonia's religious center, where citizens performed ceremonies to honor Zeus and celebrated Olympic games.
The archaeological museum, constructed in 1983, exhibits artifacts from ancient Dion and other sites in Pieria, including items from Hellenistic and Roman periods.
The site provides elevated walkways through the ruins, allowing visitors to observe the preserved temples, theaters, and residential structures throughout the year.
The sanctuary of Isis contains three small temples connected by parallel walls, designed to represent the Nile River where Osiris met his fate.
