FAQs: Mountain Climbing in Mytikas

What should I know about Mountain Climbing Mytikas?

The way is perfectly signposted and it is impossible to get lost. Vegetation, weather and difficulty increase as we ascend. The higher we hike, the vegetation disappears and the slope becomes steeper. The most challenging part of the climb of Mount Olympus is when we approach the Skala peak. Once there we just have to cheer up a little more until we are at the highest peak in Greece: Mytikas.

What people are saying about Mountain Climbing | Mytikas

Dimitris was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable, safe, and has a great personality. Would definitely use him again.

Kallam

Amazing site. Helped but me in touch with Babis Marinidis. Fantastic mountain guide, super helpful and attentive to needs. Made my climbing of Mt. Olympus so much fun. Could not recommend Explore-share or Babis more!

Christopher

The trip up Mt Olympus was even better than we imagined it would be, and that was partly due to Babis being a great guide. He knows the mountain so well, it's almost as if he built it.

Anette

Our whole experience was top notch and a once in a lifetime adventure. Everything went very smooth from booking to the big hike. Even when we wanted to change dates, last minute, because of weather Babis was very professional and flexible. He did everything to accommodate our needs. As a guide he was very knowledgeable and professional. We had a wonderful experience and can highly recommend Explore-Share, and specially Babis as your guide for your Mount Olympus adventure. Thanks for a great trip. Anette & Anders living on S/V Horizon
