Hey guys! Have you ever taken on the challenge of hiking to the highest peak in your country? I do this pretty often—if you follow my posts, you’ll know it’s kind of a thing for me. But even though I’ve done it before, every time feels like a whole new adventure. It’s as if each trip helps me grow a little stronger, like it builds my resilience and clarity in a way nothing else quite does.
Recently, I made my way back to Mount Olympus. And wow, there’s nothing quite like that view! Standing above the clouds with everything stretched out below—it’s surreal. Up there, it’s like all the noise fades away, and I can just breathe, feel, and really be. The higher I climb, the clearer everything becomes, like some sort of altitude-powered therapy.
What really hit me this time was how Olympus somehow manages to look and feel different each time. It’s like the mountain has its own moods, and I get to experience something new with every visit. This time, the weather was a little cloudy, which made the atmosphere even more epic—like I was stepping through layers of mist into some ancient legend.
The trail itself is no easy feat; you definitely feel it in your legs, but every step feels worth it once you’re close to the peak. There’s this sense of triumph and calm mixed together when you finally make it, and you’re standing up there surrounded by nothing but sky and silence. It’s a humbling reminder of how small we really are, and yet, at the same time, you feel so powerful. You realize how much strength it takes to reach these heights, not just physically, but mentally too.
If you ever get the chance, I can’t recommend it enough. Even if you’ve been there before, give it another go—you might just discover a new side of the mountain, and of yourself!
P.S We also made a wedding next day photo shooting there I might make a different post about I first have to get permission.
