Jul/Sept/Oct MOUNT OLYMPUS

Experience the spirit of Mount Olympus on this two-day traverse to Greece’s highest summit. We’ll begin in Litochoro, staying in a small inn where you can wander the old streets and get a feel for the mountain’s foothills.

From Prionia, our trail winds up through ancient forests to Spilios Agapitos refuge. The next morning, we skirt the cliffs below Mytikas to reach Christos Kakalos refuge, perched above the clouds.

At first light, we make our ascent to Mytikas peak, standing at 2,918 meters with views that stretch to the sea. The descent follows the Laimos ridge past Petrostrouga refuge before we return to Gortsia.

A journey of crisp air, rugged paths, and the timeless atmosphere of Olympus.
