Introduction
Mount Parnassus is a limestone massif rising in central Greece between the Gulf of Corinth and Thessaly, reaching 2,457 metres.

Pine forests and alpine meadows cloak its slopes; in winter it becomes a ski resort, while summer draws hikers and stargazers. Mist often shrouds its peaks, lending the mountain a solemn, otherworldly air.
