Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece at 2,919 metres high (9,577 feet).Since its base is located at sea level, it is one of the highest mountains in Europe,in real absolute altitude from base to top. It is located in Macedonia, about 100 km away from Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city.Mount Olympus is the home of the Olympians, the principal gods in the Greek pantheon.The United States Congress designated the Mount Olympus Wilderness (map) in 1984 and it now has a total of 15,300 acres.Mount Olympus is a 45km drive from Windwhistle. The mountain road is shingle and chains should be carried at all times. Occasionally mountain access becomes 4wd only from the bottom hut, where onward transport can be arranged.The entire area was declared Greece's first national park in 1937 and consists of eight peaks including the "Throne of Zeus" at 2909 metres and Mytikas which has the highest summit at 2919 metres.
Climbing Olympus has become such a major attraction that if you pitch up without a reservation in July or August you may have difficulty finding a bed for the night.
Once you take to the mountain trails you'll quickly realise why the ancients believed this was the sacred home of Zeus, the king of the gods, his wife Hera, brothers Poseidon and Hades, sisters Demeter and Hestia and children. This magnificent mountain range is home to around 1700 plant species, many of which are unique to Olympus. The mountainsides are cloaked in dense forests of pine, beech, oak and cedar trees which harbour various wildlife including wolves, bears and lynx. The slopes are buried beneath two metres of snow in winter and only accessible to the most experienced climbers - even in July the snow lurks in shadowed corners and crevices.
