Do you know where the Gods live? The Ancient Greeks were certain that Mount Olympus was the home of their gods. While the Greek gods are now just a captivating memory, occasionally brought back to life on screen, the mountains remain.
Conquer the Heights
Greece, mostly famous for its ancient history and stunning coastline, believe it or not, is primarily a mountainous country.
The Pindus mountain range is the most important in Greece, serving as the backbone of the country from Epirus to Peloponnese and Crete. It boasts the highest peaks in Greece.
Mount Olympus in Macedonia stands as the tallest mountain in Greece, with its peak, Mytikas, reaching a height of 2,917 m. It is renowned worldwide as the dwelling place of the Greek gods, also known as the Olympian Gods.
There are around 40 mountain ranges in Greece that surpass the 2,000 m mark, such as Mounts Smolikas (2637m), Gramos (2520m), Giona (2510m), Parnassus (2457m), Taygetos (2404m)…
Feel the Nature
Since 1938, Greece has been dedicated to preserving its natural treasures by establishing national parks. These parks serve as havens for unique ecosystems, wildlife, and stunning landscapes. To ensure their protection, any activities that could harm the environment are strictly forbidden within the park boundaries. However, there are designated areas surrounding the parks where limited and controlled facilities, such as camping sites, logging areas, parking lots, and game breeding grounds, are allowed. Currently, Greece boasts 10 breathtaking national parks, including Olympus, Parnitha, Parnassus, Enos on Kefalonia, Sounion, Oiti, Samaria, Valia Kalda, Prespes, and Vikos-Aoos. Prepare to be captivated by their untamed beauty.
