Olimp je i najviša planina Grčke – 2.917 metara, a najviši vrh Mitikas u prevodu znači nos. Planina je poznata i po veoma bogatoj flori sa oko 1.500 biljnih vrsta. Od 1983. godine nalazi se pod zaštitom Uneska, a sama planina je i nacionalni park. Takođe, proglašena je i za arheološko nalazište i istorijsko mesto jer prirodno okruženje planine sadrži veliki broj dokaza o istoriji čoveka. Grci su smatrali da se na vrhu planine nalaze kristalne palate u kojima bogovi žive. Ulaz u Olimp bila su velika vrata od oblaka. Palate su sagradili titani Kiklopi, a umetničke predmete je načinio i iskovao Hefes. Zevsove i Herine odaje bile su na južnom kraju Olimpa, pa su odatle mogli da gledaju Atinu, Tebu, Spartu, Korint i Mikenu. Unutar Olimpa bogovi su živeli, spavali, sudili, a hranili su se ambrozijom i nektarom, dok ih je zabavljao Apolon svirajući liru. Planina bogova Mountain of the gods The ancient Greeks saw 12 gods making their homes on top of Olympus, a mountain that's seemingly made of wind and is often hidden under cloud cover. Olympus is also the highest mountain in Greece - at 2,917m - and its highest peak, Mitikas, means nose in translation. This mountain is also known for its very rich flora and around 1,500 species of plant. It has been under UNESCO protection since 1983, while the mountain itself is also a national park. It has also been declared an archaeological and historical site, due to the mountain's natural environment containing a large amount of evidence pertaining to human history. The Greeks believed that crystal palaces that were home to the gods were located at the top of the mountain. The entrance to Olympus was a large door made of clouds. The palaces were built for the Titans by the Cyclops, while the artistic objects were created and forged by Hepheastion. The chambers of Zeus and Hera were at the southern end of Olympus, so they could watch Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth and Mycenae from there. The gods lived, slept, passed judgement and fed on ambrosia and nectar inside Olympus, while Apollo entertained them by playing the lyre.
