Olympus National Park Information Center

The Olympus Information Center in Litochoro is a facility with interactive screens and exhibitions showing the mountain's natural environment, geology, and wildlife. The spaces are divided into seven sections representing different elevation zones and their distinct features.

The mountain was designated as Greece's first national park in 1938 and received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 1981. This recognition reflects the long history of protecting this special place.

The exhibition explores connections between the mountain and Greek mythology through multiple perspectives. Visitors encounter references to ancient sites and religious places scattered across the region.

The center provides detailed maps and information about hiking trails explained by trained guides. Visitors should plan ahead about what they want to explore, as the area is large and varied.

The center houses a specialized library with books in different languages that visitors can use for research. A theater with 142 seats in the building is used for lectures and educational events.
