WALK WITH US

Welcome to

The Mount Olympus!

Mount Olympus was one of the first recording and publishing efforts.
Photo albums, travel guides, posters, notebooks, diaries, calendars, reports, presentations, publications and many ascents.
After about 25 years of photographing Olympus, but also around it, Pieria and Larissa, it is time to present all this material. “Escape Greece” in cooperation with the non-profit company “Greek Cultural Routes“, present the travel and cultural portal “The Mount Olympus”, a travel site dedicated exclusively to the mythical Olympus and the surrounding area.

Τραχανάς

Η παρασκευή του τραχανά πραγματοποιείται με δύο βασικά υλικά, το γάλα και το αλεύρι. Το
δύσκολο κομμάτι της επεξεργασίας του τραχανά είναι το τρίψιμο. Για το τρίψιμο χρησιμοποιείται
ένα ειδικό κόσκινο πάνω στο οποίο τοποθετείται μια μικρή ποσότητα τραχανά τη φορά και με
κυκλικές κινήσεις τρίβεται σε πολύ μικρούς κόκκους. Ο τριμένος τραχανάς απλώνεται συνήθως
πάνω σε κρεβάτια με καθαρά σεντόνια μέχρι να στεγνώσει τελείως.

Trahanas

Trahanas is made with two basic ingredients, milk and flour. The difficult part of the processing
of trahanas is the grinding. A special sieve is used for grinding, on which a small amount of
trachana is placed at a time and grated into very small grains in a circular motion. The grated
trahanas is usually spread out on beds of clean linen until it is completely dry.
