Arrival in Litochoro

Nestled at the base of the mighty Mount Olympus, Litochoro serves as the ideal gateway for all expeditions to the summit. Divided into two parts, the town offers visitors the chance to explore the charming seaside area or venture into the Enipeas gorge that runs through the foothills of the mountain. The relaxed pace of life in Litochoro encourages travellers to take a leisurely stroll along its quiet streets and discover its tranquil beaches. Once settled in at your guesthouse, you can embark on an unforgettable adventure to witness the stunning rock formations of the Enipeas Gorge. Alternatively, you can visit the fascinating archaeological site of Dion, the ancient Macedonian Sanctuary of Zeus, and the adjacent museum. During the Hellenistic period, this site held great religious significance for the Macedonians, who revered Zeus and held Olympic games in his honour. In the evenings, indulge in a delicious meal at one of the lively local taverns and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this charming town.
