You will feel like you are taking a hike through history as you explore the area and learn about greek mythology, the 12 gods, and the centuries of civilization that have come and gone.
2 hours • Admission ticket included -
2Olympus National Park
You will embark on a hike in the dense forest of Olympus to the Agia Kori little church and then to the nearby waterfall and the natural pools. The path is very well-preserved and the scenery there is truly breathtaking, especially during spring and autumn this trail is truly fantastic and colourful. The hike is not well-known to most visitors and definitely worth a visit. During the summertime, the natural pools are the perfect spot to take a refreshing dip and enjoy the beauty of the area. Alternatively, we can choose to hike on a longer trail at Agios Dionysios's old cave located close to Prionia in another area of the mountain.
