Dion Archeological Park
Dion stands in the northern foothills of Mount Olympus, and exercises complete control over the narrow defile leading from Macedonia to Thessaly region.
The three-floor museum is a 10-minute walk west of the archaeological park and is packed with votive statues from the sanctuaries at Ancient Dion, plus grave monuments and a large collection of coins.
The park has an area of 150 hectares, of which nearly 50 hectares belong to the urban area and 50 hectares to the sanctuaries. In the former urban area residential buildings, a market square, public buildings, churches, bathhouses, shops, workshops, and toilets have been found. The sanctuaries, the theaters, and the cemetery are located outside the city.
