The Olympus mountain chain runs along the east coast of Greece only 20 km (12 miles) inland from the Aegean coast. It is the highest mountain range in Greece, and literally means a “glowing heaven,” a “place infused with light” and is the dwelling place of the ancient Greek gods.
By contrast, in terms of the economy, things have been looking gloomy for Greece in recent years, even on Mount Olympus. A few thousand mountain tourists each year, who followed the European long distance walking path E4 up Greece’s highest peak - that was it. But now a new upbeat mood can be seen – small but promising success stories at the old dwelling place of the gods. Such as the one about the wineries, which are now selling their finest vintages to China. Or the tobacco growers, who are cultivating and marketing better and better products.
