Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in what country?

Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. Its highest summit, Mytikas, rises to about 2,918 metres above sea level and forms part of the Olympus massif in northern Greece, near the Aegean Sea and the town of Litochoro.

In ancient Greek religion, Olympus was imagined as the home of Zeus and the other Olympian gods. The mountain's dramatic cliffs, deep gorges and frequently cloud-covered peaks helped give it a supernatural reputation. It contains around 52 named peaks, with Stefani—often called the Throne of Zeus—among its most distinctive formations.

A common mix-up is confusing Mount Olympus with Mount Ida, another Greek mountain associated with Zeus, or with Mount Olympus in Turkey, which is also known by the ancient name Olympus. Greece's Mount Olympus became the country's first national park in 1938. The first recorded modern ascent of Mytikas took place in 1913.
