2Thessaloniki to Mount Olympus

Northern Greece offers a cooler and greener road trip experience. Start in Thessaloniki, the country’s cultural capital, known for its Byzantine churches, lively food markets, and waterfront cafes. Head southwest toward Mount Olympus, Greece’s mythical home of the gods.

Autumn is ideal here: the forests surrounding Olympus turn fiery shades of red, orange, and gold, creating stunning vistas for hikers and photographers. Small villages like Litochoro serve as gateways to trails, while traditional tavernas offer hearty mountain cuisine. This route combines history, mythology, and natural beauty for a quintessential autumn Greek adventure.
