Advantages: Shopping, castle-top cafe, amazing scenes at Mt Olympus Disadvantages: Cross the roads with care! (Wow! I'm glad I don't have to drive there!)
Olympus
If you love mountains and mountainous scenery in general, then Mt Olympus won’t disappoint you. I saw plenty of wildlife there, such as frogs, birds of prey, and small lizards peeping out shyly from behind wooden bridges. I encountered some amazingly deep valleys clustered with green trees. (Although people who don’t like heights may not appreciate this so much). We also came across several waterfalls and streams. The people were very friendly and we were greeted in Greek many times by other visitors on the mountain.
As evening approached, we found that most of the camp sites were full and we didn’t get the one of our choice. We had to try quite a few before finding one that had space for us.
Accommodation

Advantages: cheap, central Disadvantages: dirty, unpleasant
Kastoria in northern Greece is a fantastic place to visit for a weekend; the small town hangs of the mountains over a picturesque lake. Alas its name-sake in Thessaloniki has nothing in common. It is a grotty hotel smack-bang in the centre of Thessalonica.
I arrived in Thessaloniki at shortly midnight after a rather long journey; with just ?100 in my pocket (most of that destined to be eaten by Taxis) I needed somewhere cheap and central. The taxi took me to road the Hotel Kastoria was on, and told me I had two choices from here. Kastoria and somewhere else. As I had visited the town of Kastoria a few times before, so I held up hope for the Hotel Kastoria, and staggered across the road.
After my long trip it is not surprising I fell sleep almost straight away only to wake up itching an hour later. Ditching the bedding, and using ...
