After all, one of the meanings of the word Mount Olympus has, since Homer’s days, been ‘shining’. But when they part, there is no more dazzling sight than these dramatic natural spires boldly outlined against the deep blue firmament. Mytikas and the other slightly lower summits – Skolio, Stefani, Skala and Prophitis Ilias – make up this massive range, often veiled in clouds. Only birds (and planes) travel higher than Mytikas, the tallest of Mt Olympus’ peaks. What to do on Mount Olympus Admire Mytikas, 2,917m closer to heaven You can explore the foothills of Mt Olympus by car or mountain bike and stay in hillside villages packed with authenticity but the greatest rewards will go to the hikers on these awesome peaks. There are so many things to do on your holidays in Olympus, and reaching the summit is just the start: gentle paths, hidden corners, towering trees, wildflowers and unruly rocks, below and above the clouds.
