‘No time to waste’: Greece bids for Mount Olympus to be included on Unesco list of world heritage sites
- More than four decades have elapsed since Evangelos Geroliolios made his first ascent to the home of the ancient gods.
- At the top of Mount Olympus, on the rocky peak of Greece’s highest mountain, he felt unalloyed awe.
- “I’ve never forgotten that unique moment, that unique feeling up there on the throne of Zeus,” recalled Geroliolios, who as mayor of Dion-Olympus now spends a great deal of his time administering the area around the site.
