Meteora and Mt Olympus
This trip combines the two most famous and impressive mountain landscapes of mainland Greece in a single trek. Not just the highest mountain in the country, but the legendary home of the ancient Greek gods, the Mt Olympus National Park is a landscape of spectacular plateaus, ridges and the beautiful Enipeas Gorge. Like Zeus, look out over the world from the mountain peaks of Skala and Skolio after an exhilarating day of hiking. The dramatic rocky pinnacles of Meteora are all the more impressive with their cliff-top monasteries perched on the tiny summits. On a day hike to explore this centre of Greek orthodox spirituality, follow in the footsteps of centuries of monks along winding paths between the rock towers. The spectacular views and the vast legacy of past civilisations make this a varied and rewarding walking holiday.
