About this experience
I invite you to explore Pieria together - an amazing and fertile region! This is a piece of Northern Greece where Alexander the Great often visited and made sacrifices to the 12 Olympian gods. You will see the country's highest mountain and hear many interesting facts about local life. I will tell you what Greeks eat and drink, how they enjoy their leisure time, and what traditions they uphold.
What to expect
Ancient monastery, gorge, and views of Olympus
We will touch the Orthodox Greece and visit the monastery of St. Dionysius of Olympus, picturesquely located at an altitude of 900 meters. We will visit the Greek Switzerland - as the locals call the town of Litochoro at the foot of Olympus. Let's explore the ancient stone houses and observe the relaxed Greek life. And I will take you through the enchanting Enipeas Gorge - an oasis of untouched nature.
Village of Old Panteleimon and home winery
One of the most beautiful mountain villages in Greece - Old Panteleimon. We will walk through its cozy streets and have a cup of 'elliniko' coffee with a panoramic view of the medieval castle and the Thermaic Gulf. And for those who want to taste local dishes - lunch awaits you at a traditional tavern.
