These are personalized trips to the summits (Mytikas or Skolio) designed for those who have the experience and confidence to hike up by themselves and spend the night in one of the Olympus Huts (Refuge A Spilios Agapitos, Refuge Petrostrouga, Apostolidis Refuge, or Kakkalos Refuge), and will only require the guidance and experience of an Olympus guide for the alpine sections of the mountain that they wish to visit.
The following 1-day tours are recommended:
Refuge Spilios Agapitos/Apostolidis/Kakkalos - Skolio peak - back to the refuge
Level of difficulty: Easy
This circular tour will allow you to explore the two routes that exist to the summit.
From Apostolidis or Kakkalos refuge - Mytikas (via Louki couloir)- Skala (via Kakoskala) - Zonaria trail - back
Level of difficulty: Moderate
Available from Apostolidis, Kakkalos, Petrostrouga, or Spilios Agapitos refuge - Mytikas and back

In addition, we can design any trip you want based exactly on your preferences and needs, departing from your desired location or hut! Just send us a message with details of when you are traveling and how much time you want to spend in the mountains, plus your fitness level, and you can leave the rest to us. We are flexible in terms of time and the duration spent on your day trip and we can match a variety of different fitness levels or activities (hike, fast-hike, trail run).
Everyone is welcome on Olympus, from families and day hikers to adventure junkies. We can create an unforgettable experience on the Mountain of the Greek Gods!

Stavros is a gem. He was an excellent guide from start to finish. He communicated with me regularly and effectively from the moment I made the reservation. He was helpful and provided useful information in advance of the hike. During the hike, he was a great source of information about Mount Olympus, and all the nuances of the course we would take. He took good care of me from the moment we met and until the very end when he dropped me off at my car. During the hike he made sure we maintained a great pace and exercised an appropriate level of caution to keep us both safe throughout. I cannot say enough good things about him and of the entire experience. I would make this hike with Stavros again and recommend the hike to any and all who want to visit the gods.

What an amazing trip. It was truly an experience I will never forget and always cherish. The whole trip went exactly according to the itinerary. Stavros is not only very professional but also a wonderful person to spend time with. I had never climbed a mountain before and Stavros made me feel very safe and his instructions were always clear and to the point. I learned a lot from the experience and will without a doubt do it again. Mt Olympus is simply sublime. It is a challenge to make it to Mytikas but with Stavros' guidance it is attainable and well worth the sore legs after. Thank you so much!!!!
