Climb Mount Olympus

If you are a fan of Greek mythology, Mount Olympus should not be skipped from your schedule. It is likely one of the most famous mountains in the world. The Mountain of the Gods is another name for Mount Olympus, which is also known as the Home of the Gods in Greek Mythology. Greece's tallest mountain, this stunning one is an amazing 9,570 feet tall.

As you ascend, you might picture the legends associated with Mount Olympus, which is recognized in Greek mythology as the location where Hades controlled the Underworld and where Zeus sat on his throne.

If you want to climb the mountain, you will need to travel to Litochoro where you can trek part or all the way to the top depending on your ability and fitness levels. There are several day hikes on Mount Olympus that are the perfect spot if you want to absorb yourself in some of Greece’s backcountry, but if you’re a true lover of the outdoors, you can spend a few days and hike to the top of the mountain. For the hike, you’ll be rewarded with impressive views, a lush Greek forest, and attractive water features.
