Explore the impressive Mount Olympus, Greece on an invigorating hiking trip to the summit. During two exciting days, we’ll explore this wonderful mountain, and enjoy the amazing views it has to offer. Join me!
Mount Olympus is definitely the Greece’s most iconic mountain. It has an altitude of 2,917 meters and was famed to be the home of the 12 ancient Greek Gods led by Zeus. As the highest point in the country, the panoramic views of Greece from the top are unforgettable. Additionally, we’ll enjoy front-seat views of the second highest peak Throne of Zeus (Stefani 2.902 meters) who was the king of gods and mortals. Furthermore, the route to the top is full of forests, exotic flora and exciting obstacles!
This trip is for participants with some experience hiking and good physical condition. The last 100m to the top is scrambling on an exposed terrain where you will be protected by ropes, climbing harnesses, helmets, etc.
Send your request to discover the inspiring views this beautiful mountain has to offer. I can guarantee you’ll fall in love with Greece.

We will head to Petrostrouga refuge, which is just in the middle of the way, and is great for a stop for refreshments and water resupplying. Then, we will reach the Yiossos Apostolidis hut in the afternoon, where we will spend the night. The hike will last 5-6 hours from the start of the hike.
We will descend either through Petrostrougha (same way as the ascent), or through the Spilios Agapitos. In Prionia, we will have an invigorating bath at the waterfalls of the area.
