Litohoro Olympus Resort
Litochoro, Greece
This one survived. It remains in business.
What happened after
Now marketed as 'Litohoro Olympus Resort Villas & Spa'; TripAdvisor direct fetch confirms 4.1/5, 417 reviews, #5 of 9 hotels in Litochoro, active listing.
What happened on the show
Under the slopes of Mount Olympus, the mythic home of the Greek gods, Melchiorri took on a resort in Litochoro whose setting was frankly the stuff of legend and whose operation, the show argued, was not doing it justice. A property in the shadow of Olympus has a story that markets itself, but the resort still had to convert that draw into a well-run guest experience and steady bookings. Anthony worked through the rooms, the spa and the overall stay at the Plaka Litochorou property, then pushed ownership to run the mythology and the mountain setting as genuine assets rather than backdrop. His counsel followed the international episodes' pattern, adapting his standards-and-positioning playbook to a Greek resort market, and aiming to give travelers a reason to choose a base beneath Olympus that lived up to the address.
After the cameras left
The resort not only survived but polished its offer. As of our 2026 verification the property is open and now markets itself as the Litohoro Olympus Resort Villas & Spa, an expanded identity on the same ground. A direct check of its main travel-review listing confirms an active profile with a four-out-of-five average across several hundred reviews, ranking it among the top handful of hotels in Litochoro. The mountain-and-mythology setting the show told them to sell is doing its job. Confirmed operating as of 2026.
