Olympus Travel to: Athens, Greece Although Mount Olympus itself exists, the exact location of mythological Olympus is highly debated. Due to its height, Mount Olympus is commonly referred to as Olympus, however, the two aren’t the same. Home to the Greek gods, Olympus was described by legendary author Homer as a “heavenly threshold.” Although Mount Olympus is thought to have been this place, all that remains today is a mountain. We believe to get close to the Greek gods, diver the mountain altogether and instead visit Athens. This city, a juxtaposition of new and old, is filled with relics from the old world, with gifts from the new. Here, you’ll be able to see temples, ruins and monuments, all built in dedication to the gods. We chatted to Laurence, one half of blogging duo, Finding The Universe, who said, “Athens is such a culturally important destination with so much history to explore, I feel it’s a destination everyone needs to visit once. I wanted to walk the streets myself to see the city where concepts like democracy were first mooted and see such incredible sights as the Pantheon.” Laurence continued, “Athens is a city with an incredibly vibrant culture, especially the café culture. This modern-day culture is always overlooked by the old, with reminders of ancient Greece all around you. This is especially true with the Parthenon, which sits atop the Acropolis and seems to hover in view wherever you go in the city, reminding you that Athens has been here for a long time, through the rise and fall of civilisations and will likely be here for many years to come!” We also spoke to Olivia from O. Christine, who aims to inspire travel and the pursuit of wellness. She blogged about her time in Athens and said, “I have a friend from Crete and was visiting on holiday. I thought, ‘I can’t possibly come to Greece and not see such a historically significant city like Athens!’ So, I made sure to spend a few days exploring Athens. I love learning about history through the exploration of ruins. “I am inspired by how effortlessly landmarks of Ancient Greece weave into modern-day life,” she said. “Upscale dining with the Acropolis as a backdrop? It’s almost surreal! Athens is a special place, I appreciate how its well-preserved monuments and ruins are almost meditative.” #info #EverythingsInfo
