Mount Olympus

Reviewed By DianaB280 - Iasi, Romania

This time we didn't hike (its top was covered with snow at the beginning of May), we just admired its beauty and magnificence, driving by. I remember that last time we did hike on Mount Olympus we found a place with plenty of lillies-of-the-valley, which are my favorite flowers (it was late April). I recommend this hike, which may be for all levels of hiking, from easy to medium to difficult. One can stop anytime they want and go back (so did we, we didn't reach the top, because the weather was getting worse). We even met on our way young Greek couples with little children.

Palaiokarya’s Stone Bridge

Reviewed By 192vasilist - Athens, Greece

This old stone bridge has the unique advantage of having two waterfalls, one before and one after the bridge. The location is easy to find, but it is much easier to have a car to drive there. It was not crowded when I got there, even though it was on a weekend. Nature around is beautiful. If you are into photography, the setting gives great opportunities for long exposures.

Reviewed By 368riap - Athens, Greece

A simple AMAZING musuem, an ode to Greece. A visit will help you either learn or recognise critical items from different centuries of Greek education. Learn about Greek education, Greek toys and childhood through decades or centuries, see how books have been implemented (or not!!!) from last century and get a reminder of Aesop’s tales. Play with children's toys of the previous century and see how schoolchildren were "educated" through 19th and 20th century. The stuff is extremely helpful, we have been offered a detailed and interesting tour that lasted more than an hour. We felt very lucky that we have the chance to find and visit a true diamond like this. Be sure that you don't miss it if you visit Meteora!

Holy Trinity Monastery (Agia Triada)

This 15th-century monastery is carved into the mountainside and is the one most often shown in ads.

Reviewed By XTravelingSoldierX - Vancouver, United States

I have seen many sunsets from traveling the world. This one is just breathtaking. The rock formations are majestic and the monastery built on top of the rock is just plain impressive...but the sunset...wow It was worth waiting around for one hour just to see it. If you want the best view (on the edge of the cliff) I recommend you show up at least an hour early because the location fills up rather quickly. Be careful though, there are no barriers so I wouldn't recommend taking kids on the edge of the rock.
