Damian was a very fun and knowledgeable guide! The train ride is long from Athens but it was worth the day trip. You get to see Greece along the way which is so valuable. Once you reach Katerini, each stop with Damian was informative and enjoyable! Dion, lunch with locals, the foothills of Mount Olympus and the beautiful castle were all worthwhile stops. We would recommend to anyone!
