I have a friend who lives between Larissa and Ambelakia, and when the air is clear there can be wonderful views of Olympus from the flat roof of her house. One particular memory is of visiting at Christmas when there was snow everywhere, and the whole view across the horizon of both Olympus and Ossa was stupendous.(until the clouds came down, that is ! ) John Hillaby wrote a book called "Journey to the Gods" about a hiking trek in Greece from Attica, though Boeotia and the Agrafa - with a side trip to Olympus where he got caught in an unexpected snowstorm on the mountain in October.
