Destination
By looking at Mount Olympus, rising towards the sky, one feels grandeur and admiration flooding them. The combination of diversity, mountain terrain and special geological formations, interesting natural landscapes, mythology and history, create an impressive ensemble that exists in very few parts of the world. The significance of Olympus has been recognized not only in Greece but also worldwide, while the site has been declared an archaeological and historical site, a UNESCO nature monument and a national park since 1938, in order to preserve its monumental and historical aspect.
Activities
Hiking:
As a means of escaping from the intense everyday lifestyle, mountain hiking seems to be the perfect antidote ... An activity that despite its simplicity can may offer so much energy and interest.
Yoga:
Modern lifestyle with high daily demands, increased stress, lack of time for personal care and meaningful communication with those around us lead towards withdrawal from our true nature, from the wisdom that exists within us and may consequently lead to the appearance of many psychosomatic problems. Yoga is a holistic system of physical and mental exercise, aiming at restoring the communication between body and mind, and harmonizing all levels of existence (bodily-mental-spiritual). It includes practices such as: Asanas (body postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Deep Relaxation and Meditation
