Olympia
Description:
Abode of the gods!
Everyday fuss and worries fade into the background when the thought of visiting the monastery of the gods of antiquity comes to mind. What a pragmatist and realist a person would not be – from time to time a certain mysterious feeling and desire to touch something beyond the limits of ordinary... let it be associated with myths and legends! Why not if you are in Greece?
Approaching the multi-peak ridge of blue mountains, we will see the centuries-old power and grandeur of the largest open-air museum in Greece - Olympus! (500 square kilometers). We will begin our ascent to the abode of the ancient gods at the foot of Olympus, on its northern side.
Prepare yourself to be deprived of some comfort during the climb. The section of the road for transportation ends in the town of Prionja (1100 meters above sea level). It is from this node, armed with comfortable shoes, water, hats, cameras and good mood, we will begin our ascent to Olympus.
On the way we will be given the opportunity to visit the monastery of St. Dionysius. Despite the ruins of the XIV century, the monastery was restored and is active. Further along the way, we will see incomparable landscapes along the mountain river Enipeas.
Today, Olympus is a strictly protected protected area with rich flora and fauna! Believe me, for your careful attitude to it, for your patience and efforts during the ascent, your aesthetic taste and desire to enjoy the fascinating landscapes will be fully satisfied! We will have the right to walk through the land where Alexander the Great once gathered troops and paid homage to the gods before his great campaigns!
For eminent climbers around the world, the tick opposite Mount Olympus in the list of their ascents is a necessary milestone of the series of overcomes!
Welcome to Olympus, the abode of the ancient Greek masters of life. And who knows, perhaps your most cherished wish, spoken aloud from the bottom of your heart, will be heard by the Olympic Almighty Zeus!
