Sunrise Day 10 (the view from my hotel bacony at Litochoro) P1210424
Day 10 Monday 12th May
Mount Olympos.
Weather: sunny and very hot, still (up to 35ºC).
We spent almost the entire day at the foot of Mount Olympus, starting with a walk in the valley of Enipeas Gorge,
where we found Chequered, Zephyr and Adonis Blue, Mallow Skipper. In a beautiful area not far from there we
encountered Southern Small White, and also - Sooty Copper, Large Wall Brown. We stopped on a pastoral
meadow with blooming Thyme, Mint and Wild Marjoram with Eastern Baton Blue (Pic. 24) and several species
of Skippers. In the late afternoon we headed to Bulgaria, but at the border it appeared that because of some
Customs campaign the trucks were passing five times faster than the cars and we had to stay there for over an
hour. Ultimately we reached safely the hotel, located near the Struma River.
