Mount Olympus Waterfalls and the Ancient Ruins of Dion – A Worthwhile Trip

5.00A wonderful day trip! Eva, our guide, was fantastic - kind, informative, and really organised. The morning hike to the Mount Olympus waterfall was a highlight. It’s not intense—just a few “challenging” patches, but nothing serious. The water was icy cold, but I soaked my feet and loved it! There’s time to explore a bit, even go up above the main pool if you want. At Dion, we made the mistake of walking around the whole wall—next time I’d go straight into the ruins. A walking guide there would’ve been helpful, but the info boards are good enough. We then went to the Mt Olympus Info Centre, were a short film played followed by walking around beautiful photos of nature and history of the mountain. As plant pathologist, I found the fungi fascinating! We ended with free time in Litochoro, had a bite to eat and a relaxed walk, although there was the option to hike to next waterfall - we had a very hot day, 35 C. Good value - highly recommend.

5.00It was a wonderful day in the nature, green woods and a beautiful waterfall. The snowcovered Mount Olympus was spectacular. The tour was excellent but your payment system is a hassle, as we found out with our Pella Tour. We had to cancel and rebook the whole thing in order to make sure you would not kick us off the tour, because you could not handle the payment. This is not surprising, since most Credit Cards these days use dual confirmation system where the cardholder has to reconfirm the payments. We apreciate that you want to withdraw the amount as late as possible but this just does not work. We had to go through the whole reservation process once more.
