Mount Olympus

Wed 2nd - Sat 5th October 2024

A happy surprise!

An unexpected opportunity to come together and spend some more time at the Plateau of the Muses once again.

A brief summary of

The Retreat

host Maria with dog Ruby on Mount Olympus

We spent two nights above the clouds at the Plateau of the Muses. Taking our time to relax, spend quality time together, take in the views and enjoy a 3-brainz workshop with Hrva.

The weather going up was amazing, sunny and breezy. However, Zeus did not allow us to visit him at the top this time due to the powerful wind gusts on the morning of our planned ascent to Mytikas peak.

Our way down was an adventure with pockets of rain and a bit of sleet.

We were all happy to get to the bottom safely and enjoyed a barbeque at sea level - prepared by George Telikiozoglou who raced ahead of us to make the preparations!

Melanie led us in a relaxing pilates session the following sunny day and we also went to one of the Enipeas Gorge waterfalls for a cold water plunge - just what our soar happy muscles needed.

To complete the experience we finished with - what else but - ice cream in Litochoro!

The Location

Located in the northern part of mainland Greece, Mount Olympus is the mythical residence of the Greek Gods and currently a nature reserve and treasured hiking destination. Thanks to its high altitude, you can experience a variety of landscapes, from lush green forests and clear water streams to rocky terrains that resemble alpine scenery.

At the foothill of Mount Olympus, the town of Litochoro is home to quaint streets and traditional food. The views of the mountain are captivating, a timeless spectacle throughout the year. Nature and culture co-exist in perfect harmony in this peaceful place.

Last but not least, Plaka, a settlement by the sea, offers long beaches and clear waters suitable for swimming, only a few kilometers away from Litochoro and Mount Olympus. You can also find a plethora of food choices in taverns and restaurants.
