Litochoro: The Town at the Foot of the Gods

Stone houses, mountain air and the entrance to the Enipeas gorge — Litochoro is the perfect base for exploring Mount Olympus.

Litochoro: The Town at the Foot of the Gods

Litochoro sits exactly where Mount Olympus meets the Aegean Sea. Often called the «city of the gods», it is the traditional starting point for every Olympus adventure — and a charming destination in its own right.

Wander the old quarter with its Macedonian-style stone houses, follow the riverside path into the Enipeas gorge, and finish with coffee in the central square, where the view of the Mytikas peak fills the horizon on clear days.

Litochoro is just over an hour from Thessaloniki Airport. Combine your arrival transfer with a first walking tour of the town — the ideal soft landing for your Olympus holiday.
