A photo of the sunrise is also worthwhile from up here. Especially since the sun is not necessarily in a good position for the photo with the water reflection during the classic visiting time around Christmas.

Hiking

What Mount Olympus is in Greek mythology is Mount Meru in Hindu culture, which was anchored in the center of the worldview of the time. Here it was only allowed to go up to the ruler at that time. There are 37 steps to the top, which are very steep. In the meantime, a staircase with railings for tourists has been created. Until shortly after 2000, however, you still had to climb the steep, original stairs without help. If you don't have a head for heights, it's pretty interesting to fall, you definitely don't want to 🙈😎

The buildings were constructed from artfully designed sandstone. The entire area, including the moat, measures just under 1.5 km in a west-east direction and just under 1.3 km in a north-south direction.
The moat is between 170 and 190 meters wide and encloses the inner area.
