alatismeni-theitsa:gemsofgreece:alatismeni-theitsa:nocturnal-diary:alatismeni-theitsa:Olympos, Pieria, Greece by Maria ValsamidouI only just realised I’ve never seen an image of the Olympos… That’s where the gods are hanging… And I’ve never seen it, only a mental image in my mind. Now I understand why the Greeks chose that mountain as the home of their gods. I am happy you like the pic! Tbh, Olympos is no different from the thousands of mountains we have in the country - just a little taller! People live on its foot or on it (they certainly live around it). If you look on the left, there is a village called Vrodou! (“She-Thunder”!) People often go hiking and climbing on Olympos. There are cute doggos up there @nocturnal-diary​ you may also want to see the “Throne of Zeus” (or “Mitikas” = “he-point”, I guess) on the mountain. It’s the mountain’s higher point.I think “Throne of Zeus”, aka the pictured peak and the generally most photographed one, is Stefani which is the third highest peak. Mytikas, the true summit of the mountain, is hidden behind Stefani in all these pictures and is also known as “Pantheon”. Mytikas is actually a bit easier to climb than Stefani which is one of the hardest peaks to climb in Greece. Really?? *Mind blown* Yeah, these are the peaks from the opposite angle, Mytikas in the front. From this angle, the second highest peak, Skolio, is hidden because it’s behind Stefani I think.In this photo you can see Mytikas peaking behind Stefani (Throne of Zeus). A full picture of Pantheon - Mytikas -- source link
