Olympus mountain: From Homer\u2019s time right up to the present day poets and artists have not ceased to sing the praises of Mount Olympus, and the simple fact that the representatives of a great historical civilization such as Greek civilization imagined Olympus as the home of their gods is indicative of the awe that this mountainous massif provokes.<\/p>\n

It is not impressive only for its height with the peak Myticas reaching 2.918 meters but also for its short distance from the sea. Also, It truly dominates the landscape with its many different aspects. Each trip to Olympus evokes different feelings because the mountain has many faces to show its visitors.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Also, A few kilometers before Prionia a path commences leading to the Muses Plateau at an altitude of 2.600 m where there are mountain refuges. Moreover, This path begins from the position known as Gortsia. It is from these refuges that the ascent to Olympus\u2019 highest peaks begins.
