The gods gather at the peak of Mount Olympus to witness Zeus hurl his lightning bolts down at unsuspecting human targets as a reminder to all mere mortals of the ruling class they must fear and obey. ⚡

Guys, you’re not gonna believe it, but I made it to Mount Olympus!!!
It was about a four hour drive from Athens, but I’m glad I made it to the home of the Greek Gods. I hiked down one of the trails there and found a waterfall that lead to a pool/pond called The Fountain of Zeus, it was also where the water purification station for a local village’s water source comes from. I’m so glad I got to see it and it has been one of the highlights of my trip so far.
Also, here’s a picture of the town square of the village at the foot of the mountain:
