Discover your MYthic paTHS
“MYthic paTHS”-the title describing this sustainable touristic proposal-can be interpreted in two ways: on the one hand, it refers to the Olympus area, its diversity, and breathtaking beauty that gave birth to the myth of the 12 Gods of Olympus. On the other hand, it refers to the touristic experiences, where visitors -by learning about the myths, history, culture, folklore, and people of the region- have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of an unforgettable and mythical journey. Thus, they “discover themselves” whilst being away from the pressure of everyday life. They also get to have an overall picture of the past and modern history of the place they are visiting, gain new experiences and try different tastes and explore “mythical” places of indescribable beauty in alternating green and blue landscapes (mountain – sea). Through this touristic concept, the visitors will fully appreciate the area and will have a unique travel experience filled with authentic activities, aiming to help them not only relax by exploring new destinations but also to broaden their horizons, nurture their spirit, acquire new skills, understand the world and the environment, taste, feel, have fun in a new and sustainable way.
