2 National Park Trips in Greece, Compared

1.Bus Trip to Dion & Mt Olympus National Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 256 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Travel from Thessaloniki to Agia Kori Waterfall, Dion Archaeological Park, the Olympus Information Center, and Litochoro. An English-speaking historian-archeologist leads the day, with bus transport, Wi-Fi, and free time for lunch. The trail is accessible but includes rough ground and steep steps.

“It was an average excursion; you mostly pay for the bus ride. We did a hike and sat at a nice restaurant towards the end where we enjoyed a meal. A bit more time would have been appreciated there as it was a lovely little town. Our guide was pleasant but inexperienced. We missed the high energy of a tour guide who grabs the attention of his or her group. All in all a decent tour but not unmissable.”
