Mount Olympus

Well worth a visit if you’re in the local area. Went there to look for Zeus. Unfortunately couldn't reach the top so cannot confirm or deny he lives there. But he probably does if given the choice. Pure Greek natural beauty all around. Yes, I'm reviewing a mountain. Not my first mountain either, although I haven't reviewed Kilimanjaro yet. Ok, it's a an actual mountain, summit above the tree line, though only 2918 meters (9.578 ft), no snow up there but plenty of wind and temps are way lower than at the bottom. It's about 25,000 steps to the top, almost all of them ascending, of course, over often technical rock and rooty trails. I suppose it could be done in a day, up and down, doubling the steps. but not by me. I'm 76 and two days were definitely necessary. There's a hut not far from the summit, very basic, with: • surprisingly good fresh food throughout the day and evening, staring with coffee at 6:30 am (and not a moment before) • yes they take cards, tho I was told sometimes the payment terrminals or internet connection don't work, so bring at least 25 Euro as backup • unheated rooms containing 8-12 cots, where you could end up trying to sleep next to someone snoring like a 500 lb boor, as I did. Not pleasant. Bring ear plugs. Nice experience. Easy to climb Fantastic place full of interesting ruins,especially nice to see the stadium where the Olympic Games originated. The town is very touristy and full of tour buses.Parking could be a challenge later in the year( we where there in early May) But the site makes up entirely for any inconvenience. ❤️ Breathtaking!!!! Mystical place, wonderful nature Take a swim near the waterfall and soak in the beautiful surroundings A religious experience. 4/5. I had a good time, but some guy with a bald head and red tattoos and a big beard kept asking where to find Zeus. When I told him I didn't know, he ran off. Weird. Photos below. I arrived here and it started as a normal trip, but some guy wearing a weird helmet with wings and shoes that also had wings told me to climb mount Olympus to the very top. He also was really fast. It was weird but I did it anyway. Once I got to the top, I saw a whole crowd of people and somebody was talking to a guy holding a lyre? They both were singing, and one dude was sitting in a very tall chair and was like a giant. He also destroyed half of the place by a lightning bolt. I left quickly before anything else got worse and decided to take some photos! Also when I was taking photos, some person came up to me and time stopped, I didn't know who they were and thought they were cosplaying of some sort of god, I tried to guess but they disappeared and all i saw was an owl staring at me. 2 stars, wouldn't recommend it for someone who was just trying to look around.
