Every direction from Livadi reveals a new world to explore.
Explore the Region
Each corner of this storied landscape tells its own tale. Choose your adventure.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the twelve Olympian gods and Greece's highest peak at 2,918 metres. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with extraordinary biodiversity and world-class hiking trails.
Discover Olympus →
Titarus Mountain
Olympus's quieter neighbour. The village sits on its southeastern slopes, so trails start at the door — a steady climb past Profitis Ilias to the summit at 1,839m, with fewer hikers than you'll meet on the Olympus side.
Discover Titarus →
Pieria
Where the mountains meet the Aegean Sea. Pieria blends golden beaches, the ancient sanctuary of Dion, and the vibrant coastal town of Paralia Katerinis into one unforgettable destination.

At the Centre of It All
Livadi sits at 1,160 metres on the southeastern slopes of Mt Titaros, with Olympus rising to the east. Originally an Aromanian (Vlach) shepherds' settlement known historically as Blacholivado, the village is a natural crossroads — Olympus to the east, Titaros at your back, the Thessalian plain opening south, the Pierian coast a short drive north. Pick a direction; something worth seeing is within an hour.
