Our destination: Old Vrondou Village, where stories whisper from moss-covered walls and history unfolds with every turn. A spirit of adventure comes alive with an off-road drive to the Krevatia Refuge, perched at 1050 meters. There, the majestic view of Mount Olympus' peak takes your breath away, offering unforgettable images. The cool spray of the waterfall refreshes our faces, while the beauty of the cascading falls soothes the soul. Soon after you could have lunch at a taverna (optional)to experience its local charm and then head to Stone Beach for swimming and relaxation.
