• Learn about Dodoni’s role as both an oracle and a civic center that thrived from 2000 BC to Roman times.
• Admire artifacts unearthed at Dodoni, many of which are housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina.
• Gain insights from a licensed professional guide who brings mythology and history to life.

Your visit begins at the entrance of Dodoni, where your licensed guide introduces the sanctuary’s unique role as both a place of worship and a civic center. As you walk through the site, you’ll stand before the grand theater that once echoed with the voices of thousands, wander among the remains of temples and administrative buildings, and imagine the rituals performed beneath the sacred oak tree where Zeus was believed to speak through the rustling of its leaves.
The tour unfolds at a relaxed pace, blending myth, history, and archaeology into a vivid narrative that reveals how Dodoni shaped the lives of ancient Greeks for centuries. Families and children will enjoy the interactive storytelling, where gods, heroes, and priests come alive through tales of prophecy and tradition.
After your guided exploration, you’ll have time to pause, take photos, or simply soak in the serene atmosphere of the Epirus landscape before continuing your journey. By the end of your visit, Dodoni will feel less like a ruin and more like a sacred place where myth and history still whisper through the stones.
