Mount Olympus nears UNESCO World Heritage status

Mount Olympus, known in Greek mythology as the abode of Zeus and the twelve gods of ancient Greece, is one step away from being included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The nomination of Greece's highest mountain, with a height of 2,918 meters, will be considered during the session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, taking place from July 19 to 29 in Seoul. The proposal aims to classify Olympus as a mixed site, with exceptional natural and cultural values.

In addition to its importance in Greek mythology, Mount Olympus is also one of the richest ecological areas in the country, harboring rare species of flora and fauna, as well as monuments of historical and cultural importance that testify to the region's close connection with ancient civilization.

Greece submitted its candidacy for the inclusion of the Olympus massif on the UNESCO list as early as 2014. However, the organization's advisory bodies, IUCN and ICOMOS, requested additional documentation and evidence to support the universal values ??of the site.

Experts have requested more data on the international significance of the geological features, biodiversity and ecological processes of the area. It has also been proposed that the nomination be expanded to include the archaeological site of Dion, at the foot of Mount Olympus, to further strengthen the arguments for its cultural and historical value.
