Resplan
Ge dig ut på ett oförglömligt äventyr genom den legendariska nationalparken Mount Olympus, gudarnas mytomspunna hem. Olympen är känd för sin fängslande skönhet och mystiska närvaro och har länge vördats som en gudomlig helgedom i antik grekisk kultur. När du vandrar längs vattenfallsleden Agia Kori kommer du att fascineras av de frodiga omgivningarna och det fantastiska smaragdvattnet i vattenfallet, vilket erbjuder en perfekt chans att koppla av och ta ett uppfriskande dopp i naturens omfamning. Omgiven av bergets karga skönhet får du också höra fascinerande berättelser om de mystiska fenomen som besökare rapporterat genom århundradena och gräva i de olympiska gudarnas ursprung.
Res sedan tillbaka i tiden till den antika staden Dion, en betydande religiös knutpunkt tillägnad Zeus, gudarnas mäktiga fader. Promenera genom de antika ruinerna av stora tempel, teatrar och offentliga byggnader och upptäck äran av denna heliga stad som en gång omhuldades av både greker och romare.
För att fördjupa din kontakt med landet, besök Olympus National Park Information Center. Med sina interaktiva utställningar får du en insiktsfull förståelse för parkens biologiska mångfald och kulturella betydelse, vilket berikar din upplevelse.
Fortsätt resan med ett besök i den pittoreska byn Litochoro, inbäddat vid foten av Olympus. Vandra genom dess charmiga gränder, beundra den traditionella makedonska arkitekturen och njut av den livliga atmosfären på dess torg och kaféer. Litochoro blandar vackert bergsro med levande lokalt liv, vilket gör det till den perfekta platsen att insupa essensen av regionen.

This was an excellent and well balanced trip. It was a nice mix of historical and geographical highlights. The guide, Sisi,was excellent. She showed real enthusiasm and was able to provide information without overdoing it. Her English was excellent and she added great value to the trip.
We had a wonderful visit to Mt Olympus and the surrounding areas of Dion and Litochoro. The hike to the waterfall and the cave was great to get up close and personal to the magic and mystique of the mountain -- it's easy to see why Zeus and the Olympians selected this mountain as their abode! Special thanks to Eva for being an incredible guide, providing insightful and humorous anecdotes about the local legends -- she truly exemplifies the hospitality for which the Greeks are known!
My trip to Mount Olympus was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences I've ever had. As the legendary home of the Greek gods, Olympus offers a unique blend of natural beauty, adventure, and history. A special mention goes to Eva, our guide, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the journey even more enjoyable. She shared fascinating information about the mountain's history, mythology, flora, and fauna, helping us appreciate Mount Olympus on a much deeper level. Her guidance and encouragement throughout the trip made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. I would also like to thank Lazarus, our driver, who was friendly, punctual, and ensured smooth and comfortable transportation throughout the trip. His excellent driving and warm personality contributed greatly to the overall positive experience. Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Mount Olympus to anyone who enjoys nature, or Greek history. It offers an incredible adventure, unforgettable views, and a chance to experience one of the most iconic mountains in the world. I would gladly return and explore more of its trails in the future.
Great experience and worth it! Our guide Eva was wonderful and very friendly. Smooth journey and enjoyed all the stops. Highly recommend!
Great trip to get out of the city and see the beautiful countryside. We were met by Giorgios at the square and taken in a lovely air conditioned minibus for about an hour and a bit to Mount Olympus. All the while he was providing information about where we were going and the myths/ legends behind it. A small hike took us to a waterfall where the water was so clear and apparently freezing (I wasn’t brave enough to go in!). We then went to Dion which is an amazing archaeological site and inexpensive at €10 to get in. A short ride after in the bus to Litochoro, where those who wanted to could walk to Enipea canyon with Giorgios. Absolutely stunning views and well worth the short walk in. A relaxed lunch in the town and then the ride back. Fabulous day and would highly recommend it.
Don’t waste your money on this. Mount Olympus was the only interesting bit of this trip and even that felt like a waste of time for a mediocre waterfall, and it made no sense to do the swimming at the beginning of the tour. They you hike a little along to see some sad, put together shrine of a lady who lived on the mountain, highly disappointing. Dion is definitely a scam, where you are paying a €10 entry fee to walk up and down and see nothing! Google it first and look at the pictures of it, trust me (I should have). And don’t get me started on this, the Olympus National Park Information Centre - Talk about lack of things to see, another scam. All in all, I would really like a refund and my waste of a day back, that could have been used for something else.
Was a great tour. Really enjoyed hiking in mt. Olympus and swimming in the waterfall. It was very interesting seeing the ancient town of Dion as well. The tour guide (Evangelia) was very knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend!
This was a wonderful trip that I would highly recommend. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, always open to answering questions or giving recommendations. It was a good mix of bus time with some hiking/walking so you didn't feel like you wasted your day sitting on a bus but you also weren't too worn out from the hiking. Mount Olympus was beautiful and we were able to take a quick swim, though the water is very cold. My friend and I chose to save 10 euros and not enter the Dion Archeological Site (as we travel a lot and have seen plenty of ruins that start to all look the same) but we only had an hour there so it was a good spot to rest and eat the lunch we packed. Overall, good value for money.
Our group was comparably small, so the initial hike was very enjoyable. Unfortunately, we got a bit unlucky with the weather at Dion and litochoro. Nevertheless the views of Mount Olympus were stunning, And the tour was a lot of fun. Yannis was a great guide. He shared with us a lot of knowledge and his personal experiences about Mount Olympos and the region. The tour lasted from 8am to 5.30 pm.
Not to be missed! Like being in Paradise at the stunning National Park and Mount Olympus waterfall. Great pick up and drop off point.
