Travelled: From Meteora to Mount Olympus, both in Greece
Visited: Mount Olympus National Park
Stayed: The old monastery car-park on Mount Olympus
Anyway, hundreds of stairs later we make our way back to the Hymer. The roads are now choked with tourist coaches and cars. We head back down to Kalambaka, grab a loaf of bread for lunch and continue our journey east. From Elassona we drove up and around Olympus from the south. From 2000 metres up the mountain is shrouded in mist, unfortunately we couldn’t find a reasonable spot to for the night. We make our way down to Litochoro where the Aegean Sea glistened before us. A ranger at the National Park information centre recommends the old monastery carpark and off we go again back up to 1000 metres. It’s so much cooler up there, we enjoy a great sleep.
