‘No time to waste’: Greece bids for Mount Olympus to be included on Unesco list of world heritage sites

Greece has been advocating for Mount Olympus to be recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, emphasizing its cultural and environmental importance. The site, described as the 'seat of the immortals' in ancient Greek mythology, has been nominated since 2014. Officials highlight its unique landscape, including forests, gorges, and biodiversity, along with historical significance tied to Zeus. The World Heritage Committee is set to discuss the nomination during its 48th session in Busan, South Korea. Greece previously achieved UNESCO status for other sites like the Acropolis, but Mount Olympus remains pending. The designation would provide international protection and recognition of the site's dual cultural and natural value.
