📋 Details

The highest mountain in Greece and the residence of the twelve gods of mythology, invites you to a divine mountaineering experience. Here you will come with a unique mission: to sit on the “throne of Zeus”, having all of Greece at your feet !! and to conquer the peak.

Olympos, extending to the prefectures of Pieria and Larissa, southwest of Macedonia, proudly stands up like a giant tower of 2918 meters without anybody questioning its sovereignty. Because of this fact, the Ancient Greeks had “placed” their gods on him.
