About

Olympus National Park (Greek: Εθνικός δρυμός Ολύμπου) is a national park in northern Greece, in the Greek regions of Thessaly and Central Macedonia. The national park was established on 9 June 1938, making it the oldest national park in the country. The park lies on and around Mount Olympus — the highest mountain in Greece and the mythological dwelling place of the gods. On 15 December 1981, the area was added to the list of biosphere reserves under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB). The national park has an area of 39.88 km².
