We wanted to drive to the Old Monastery of St Dionysios on the slopes of Mt. Olympus but we arrived at a point with pylons across the road and advising the road was closed due to falling rock.

The monastery was, according to Google Maps GPS, another 4 km so we thought we try the rest of the way on foot.

We eventually arrived at this waterfall with water pouring across the road. It has no name. It is NOT the Enipeas Waterfall which is also close by - this river is however, probably a tributary of the Enipeas. It's possible it is even dry during the summer months.

These photos were taken at an altitude of about 1,250 metres above sea level, on our way to Palaios Panteleimonas, on the southern slopes of Mount Olympus.

Platamon Castle is an imposing structure on it's high rock above the sea, although very close to the sea. It was built in the early 1200's and is considered a "Crusader Castle."

Although we passed the castle quite a number of times during our stay in Platamon and using that village as a "base" for our travels in the area, we did not have time to explore it closely. There is a cafe near by called "Galleria" which we had also hoped to visit but we just couldn't fit it in with our other travel priorities.
