Mytikas, Summit of Mount Olympus in northern Greece
Located at 2,918 meters elevation, Mytikas commands views across the surrounding mountain peaks and the Aegean Sea in clear weather conditions.
The peak has attracted climbers and explorers since the first recorded ascent in 1913 by Swiss mountaineers Daniel Baud-Bovy and Frédéric Boissonnas.
While ancient Greeks never climbed to the summit, they regarded Mount Olympus and its highest point as the residence of Zeus and other deities.
The ascent to Mytikas requires technical climbing skills near the summit, with most climbers starting their journey from the Prionia trailhead.
The rock formation at Mytikas summit contains limestone deposits dating back to the Triassic period, shaped by millions of years of geological processes.
