Olympus
Away from the summer mass tourism of the coastal region lie the spectacular mountain ranges of Olympus , Ossa and Pieria . These mountains offer spectacular landscapes and are home of very unique and diverse flora and fauna, a rich culture and deeply rooted traditions.
The three mountain ranges are separated by river valleys and gorges and line north to south the coastal plains of the Thermaikos Gulf and the northern Aegean Sea . Contrasting sea and high mountain climates and geological diversity are the root of very diverse landscapes and its inhabitants. Traditional mountain villages nestle on the flanks of the mountains or on the high mountain plateaus of Mt. Olympus and Pieria .
The area is home of humanities age old cultures the remains of which can be visited in archaeological sites like Dion and Vergina. Besides these worldwide known sites there is a multitude of lesser known places hidden in the mountains and valleys which bear evidence of a rich and interesting past. These beautiful areas are some of the most diverse and fascinating landscapes in Europe . Nature lovers and active outdoor types as well as people interested in culture and history find here the ideal backdrop for their holidays.
