The antenna looks like a giant golf ball on a peg, doesn't it?..
Mount Olympus is the highest point on Cyprus at 1,950 metres. Known locally as Chionistra.
Mt. Olympus listening station is a part of the ECHELON group of listening posts established after the UK-USA agreement. From here it is rumored that every communication can be monitored throughout the Middle East by the Anglo-Saxon alliance.

Architects of this enjoyed a joke, I guess :)
A golf game for Gods?
