Η πύλη Ολύμπου βρίσκεται στην Λάρισα (;;;) ...


   Σήμερα όλος ο τοπικός τύπος έντυπος και ηλεκτρονικός αναφέρεται στον Όλυμπο και
στο γεγονός πως συμπεριλήφθηκε από το περιοδικό ecologist σε μια  κατάταξη
για τα 10 σημαντικότερα  Εθνικά Πάρκα  στον κόσμο.
Προφανώς κανένας από τους δημοσιογράφους της πόλης δε μπήκε στη διαδικασία να
ελέγξει το άρθρο και έτσι δε διάβασε το άρθρο το οποίο αναφέρει μεταξύ των άλλων....
Η πύλη Ολύμπου βρίσκεται στην Λάρισα (;;;) και το χειρότερο όλων....
προτείνει ως συμφέρουσα διαμονή το costa navarino της Μεσσηνίας (;;;)

Για να μην κατηγορούμε μονάχα τα blogs και να ελέγχουμε κάθε μας είδηση....

Παρακάτω το άρθρο του ecologist.

Olympus National Park, GreeceOne of the world's most famous mountain ranges, the 52 peaks of Mount Olympus were thought to be the home of the gods by the inhabitants of classical Greece, and are still awe-inspiringly beautiful. Located in northern Greece on the Thessaly border with Macedonia, Mount Olympus' abundant plant life - it's home to over 1,700 species and represents 25 per cent of the Greek total - has seen it designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Animal species include wolves, jackals, lynx and wild boar, and there are more than 108 bird species plus a vast number of butterflies. While the fauna and scenery are the main attractions, the peaks of Mount Olympus range have long been a magnet for religious ascetics and the Agios Dionysios Monastery, three kilometres from Litochoro village, has one of the prettiest churches in the area.

Where to stay: As most of Greece's hotels are geared up for the demands of mass tourism, finding an eco-hotel is like hunting for a needle in a haystack. If you make your visit to Mount Olympus part of a longer holiday, Costa Navarino in Messinia Peloponnese is an eco-friendly resort that makes a great base for exploring the Hellenic peninsula. Closer to Mount Olympus, your best bet is to try a holiday cottage where you can control exactly where your food comes from and how much power you've used. Top pick is the Old Stone House in Vysitza, which is set in a pretty orchard and is close to the rail links at Volos. www.holiday-rentals.co.uk

Get there: The quickest and cheapest way to make it to Greece overland is by going via Italy and taking the ferry from the southern port of Bari to Patras. From Patras, take the train north via Athens to Salonika and Larissa - the gateway to Mount Olympus.
