I was very lucky to have the chance to go up to the Pyre of Herakles site on Mount Oiti in north-west Greece back in October—we were in thick mist, but it’s still a very evocative site (link to post below!) mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2026/01/24/o...

I hadn't realised until recently that you can see the summit of Mount Kithairon from the centre of Athens. That must have been all the more the case with a huge column of smoke rising up (if Pausanias is right about sacrifices on the summit). mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2025/12/06/k...

I think the archaeological finds from the Agios Antonios summit of Mount Olympus are not very well known...--evidence of an ash altar and cult of Zeus. Thanks to Cynthia Marti for this post with all the details and a great hiking route! mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2025/11/29/o...

One of the amazing things about visiting the Cave of Pan on Parnitha is knowing that you are in the footsteps of others: late antique worshippers of Pan and nineteenth-century travellers who have left accounts of their visits... mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2025/11/22/p...

Updated Penteli post here, now with photos! mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2025/11/08/p...

Interesting to walk in west Parnitha (ancient Mount Parnes, north of Athens) a couple of weeks ago. It's very overgrown after the 2023 fires. Walking on these paths and helping to keep them open is an act of heritage preservation in itself... mountainsofgreece.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2025/11/15/p...
