      Day 1: Litochoro โ€“ Gkortsia โ€“ Petrostrougga โ€“ Plateau Of The Muses

      Estimated Walking Time: approx. 7-8 hours

      After the meeting in the square of Litochoros, we drive 13.5 Km to Gortsias at an altitude of 1,123m where the path for one of the most basic routes of Olympus begins. After a hike of about 2.5 hours and passing through characteristic points such as Barba, Koka, Strangos, we arrive at the Petrostruga shelter, at an altitude of 1,940m for a short stop.


      We continue our route to Skourta (2,476m), Laimos and Pass of Iossos where we can see the magical plateau of the Muses. At the intersection that follows, we take the path that leads to the shelter of G. Apostolidis where we will spend the night at one of the shelters on the Moussa plateau.


      Transfer: 13,5 km Hiking Distance: 13,5 km Time: 7 โ€“ 8 hours hours Ascent: 1609 m  Descent: -114 m   Min. Height: 1123 m Max. Height: 2724m

  • Day 2 Day 2: Plateau Of The Muses โ€“ Mitikas Peak โ€“ Refuge Spilios Agapitos ( Refuge A )
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Plateau Of The Muses โ€“ Mitikas Peak โ€“ Refuge Spilios Agapitos ( Refuge A )

      Estimated Walking Time 3,5- 4,5 hours


      On the second day we wake up early and after breakfast we start for the top of Mytikas (2,918m). The climb to the top requires extra effort and above all you must not have altitude sickness. With the use of safety equipment we will reach the top of the highest mountain in Greece, from where we will enjoy the unique view of the peaks of Olympus and the Olympic coast.


      Then, after enjoying the magnificent view and signing the visitorโ€™s book, we descend and follow the path to the Spilios Agapitos refuge. After a short stop we continue the path to Prionia where the car will be waiting for us to take us back to Litochoro. We must know that the decision to climb to the top is up to the guide depending on the weather conditions and the physical condition of the participants. The ascent to Mytikas is done using special equipment (helmets, harnesses, rope) provided by our company for your safety. Then, after enjoying the magnificent view and signing the visitorโ€™s book, we descend and follow the path to the Spilios Agapitos refuge (2,100m) where we will spend the night. This path is also called โ€œshortโ€ because it shortens the distance from the Plateau of the Muses to the Sp. Agapitos shelter and crosses the mountain at a lower altitude than the alternative route of Zonaria.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Refuge Spilios Agapitos ( Refuge A ) โ€“ Prionia -Litochoro
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Refuge Spilios Agapitos ( Refuge A ) โ€“ Prionia -Litochoro

      Estimated Walking Time 3 โ€“ 4 hours


      The third day is more relaxed. After our breakfast at the refuge we start our descent from the mountain. There after an overwhelming route, following the European Path E4, we arrive at Prionia (1,100m) where the car will be waiting for us to take us back to Litochoro.


      Highlight of the trip:

      • The magical view from the top of Mytikas (2,918m)
      • The mountain refuges (Jios Apostolidis, Spilios Agapitos, Petrostruga, Prionia).
      • The enchanting nature with the rich flora and fauna
      • The morphology of the mountain with its constant changes.
