Mount Oeta, Mountain peak in Phthiotis Regional Unit, Greece
Mount Oeta rises 2,152 meters above sea level, forming a natural boundary between multiple river valleys including Spercheios, Boeotian Cephissus, and Mornos.
The mountain gained recognition as the location where the ancient hero Heracles built his funeral pyre and entrusted his bow and arrows to Poeas.
The National Park of Mount Oeta, established in 1966, preserves 1,149 plant species, representing twenty percent of Greece's total plant diversity.
The mountain offers numerous hiking trails through fir forests, providing access to various archaeological sites and natural formations across the protected area.
Two plant species, Veronica oetaea and Allium lagarophyllum, grow exclusively on Mount Oeta, making it their only natural habitat in the world.
