Ancient Dion, Archaeological site at Mount Olympus, Greece

The archaeological park spans 150 hectares of urban structures and religious sanctuaries at the base of Mount Olympus, featuring temples, theaters, and thermal baths.

Alexander the Great performed ceremonies at Dion before his Persian campaign, marking the site's status as the primary religious center of ancient Macedonia.

The site contains multiple temples dedicated to Greek and Roman deities, including Zeus, Demeter, Asclepios, and Isis, reflecting the religious evolution across centuries.

The archaeological museum displays artifacts discovered at Dion, including sculptures, coins, and pottery, with seasonal opening hours and varying admission fees.

The sanctuary of Isis features a water channel representing the Nile River, connecting two smaller temples through an intricate hydraulic system.
