Olympus Mountains Climb
€330.00 – €380.00
The quoted costs are based on groups of 2-3 or 4-5 participants. For different group sizes, please contact us.
We offer you a hiking trip to the highest mountains in Greece – Olympus Mountains, which are famous for being the residence of the 12 ancient gods of the Greek Mythology. They are also gifted with rich biodiversity, preserved in the Olympus National Park. These mountains are also the second highest on the Balkans and undoubtedly the most exciting ones to climb among the high mountains in the area.
Mount Mytikas, the peak of Olympus Mountains in Greece, rises at 2917 meters above sea level and is actually quite close to the seaside. The challenge is to climb the peak in the beginning of a long hiking day and dip into the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea in the evening of the same day. We may offer you this experience in a tight two-day program, but for those who want to enjoy more time in the mountains we’ve got an optimal 3-day itinerary below. We’ll also spend a night in a high mountain hut at the Mouson Plateau at 2650 m, in the foot of the impressive Mount Stefani.

In order to participate in the program you’ll need to be in a good physical condition. There are some steep sections along the way and the last section of the ascent is exposed and requires some scrambling, so not suitable for people with fear of heights. If you are in any doubt about your ability to cope with such terrain, contact us for further information. The trip is guided by internationally certified UIMLA Mountain Leader who will take care of your safety during the ascent and descent of Mount Mytikas.
The trip is available between June and October. The condition of some parts of the route may vary significantly, depending on the season and the weather, so we reserve the right to modify the route in order to provide maximum safety for our clients. As an example we may reverse the program and start from Prionia locality if the so-called Zonaria Trail is still covered by snow in May/early June.
