The parking lot is at the beginning, where you then walk through the sand. There is a restaurant nearby, but there are no other facilities.
Athos
The easternmost peninsula, Athos, is a spiritual sanctuary. Home to the oldest surviving monastic community in the world and a place where time seems to stand still.

Who doesn’t know the mythical Mount Olympus, a mountain steeped in mythology and considered the home of the twelve Olympian gods, headed by Zeus. The gods were believed to reside in mythical palaces on top of the mountain, from where they observe and influence the affairs of the people.
With its highest peak, Mytikas, reaching 2,918 metres, Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. The mountain range covers an area of approximately 500 km2 and is characterised by deep gorges and high peaks.

Transport in Greece and the Greek islands

In addition to Athens Airport, Greece has connections to other airports including those near Thessaloniki and the islands of Zakynthos, Corfu, Kefalonia and more. Here you can find all flights to Greece.
Car rental
The best way to experience the beauty of Greece is to rent a car locally and explore Greece on your own.
You can rent a car right at the airport (Athens, Corfu, Santorini or any other airport) or at other locations nearby. All you need is a driving licence from your home country (or an international driving licence for non-EU nationals), a credit card and your age over 21.
Scooters or ATVs are another way to explore the islands of Greece. Ask at the hotel where the nearest car rental is.
Ferries
Due to Greece’s island geography, ferries are an integral part of the transport system. Ferries connect the mainland with the islands and also provide transport between the islands.
The port of Piraeus in Athens is one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe. All ferries can be found at this link. The site will automatically offer you the most popular ferry routes, including prices and availability.
Buses
Greece has an extensive bus system. The main provider of intercity bus services is KTEL, which operates a nationwide network.
You can easily find bus connections for a given area or island by typing “KTEL and area name” into the search engine.
The main cities on the mainland are also connected by trains, but in general train services in Greece are not as well developed as bus services.
