As you trek along the Agia Kori Waterfall trail, you’ll be mesmerized by the lush surroundings and the stunning emerald waters of the waterfall, offering the perfect chance to relax and take a refreshing swim in nature’s embrace. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the mountain, you'll also hear fascinating tales of the mysterious phenomena reported by visitors throughout the centuries and delve into the origins of the Olympian gods.

Next, travel back in time to the ancient city of Dion, a significant religious hub devoted to Zeus, the mighty father of the gods. Stroll through the ancient ruins of grand temples, theaters, and public buildings, uncovering the glory of this sacred city once cherished by both Greeks and Romans.

To deepen your connection with the land, visit the Olympus National Park Information Center. With its interactive exhibits, you’ll gain an insightful understanding of the park’s biodiversity and cultural significance, enriching your experience.

Continue your journey with a visit to the picturesque village of Litochoro, nestled at the foothills of Mount Olympus.
