Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece (2917m) and the mystical home of ancient Greek Gods. From its steep rocky summit, first climbed only 100 years ago, Zeus supposedly hurled his thunderbolts against humankind. Its eastern slopes became the country’s first National Park in the 1930s and today are home to dozens of species of flowers as well as endangered birds and butterflies. Olympus National Park has 52 peaks in total. On this trek we conquer Skolio at 2911m. What better way to celebrate the Olympic year?
