Olympus so awed the ancients that they proclaimed it the dwelling place of the gods. A network of well-maintained hiking trails now makes the summit accessible to anyone with sturdy legs and a taste for the divine. Two approaches to the peaks begin near Litochoro (elev. 340m); the first and most popular starts at Prionia (elev. 1100m), 18km from the village, and takes one full day round-trip. The second, a longer and more picturesque route, begins at Diastavrosi (also called Gortsia; elev. 1300m), 14km away.
