In mythology, the region was the summer home of the gods of Olympus, no doubt due to its cool mountain airs. The beaches here are mostly pebbly and the waters irresistibly clear, reflecting the intense colours from the land.

The handsome villages in the mountain become ski resorts in the winter, and there’s even a steam train – a narrow gauge line between Ano Lehonia and Milies which winds its way through some stunning scenery for 15km.
