With the municipal reform in 1997 , the incorporation of the rural communities of Vrondou, Karitsa, Agios Spyridon, Kondariotissa and Nea Efesos was connected. Through the merger of the municipality of Dion with the municipalities of Litochoro and Anatolikos Olymbos to form the new municipality of Dion-Olymbos after the administrative reform in 2010 , Dion was given the status of a municipality, which is divided into two municipal districts and four local communities.
