Maria Zolota

Maria Zolota has been managing the 'Spilios Agapitos' shelter on Mount Olympus for over 20 years. She views the mountain's recent designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site as an opportunity to address long-standing challenges, particularly regarding infrastructure improvements. Zolota emphasizes the need for better maintenance of trails and the restoration of bridges damaged by severe weather, hoping that this recognition will catalyze necessary changes to enhance both conservation efforts and visitor experiences on the mountain.
