Descripción
Hike to the highest peak of Greece.
Visit the abode of the gods and the site of the throne of Zeus.
Walk though the national park of Olympus
We depart early on Saturday morning from Thessaloniki to Litochoro. After picking up the participants from other cities we start for the Gorcia forest location (35′).
From there we start the ascent, following the route: Gortia – Petrostruga refuge – Museon Plateau. We spend the night in the refuge of the plateau "Giosos Apostolidis". The refuge has a kitchen that can offer a basic but very tasty (!!!) menu.
The ascent to Mytikas (2,918m) is optional, planned for Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, if the weather conditions allow it and for those whose physical condition allows it. The last part of the ascent to Mytikas is accompanied by the group of the mountain guide and/or the climbing instructor and we use climbing equipment (helmet, belay, rope). Those who do not wish to attempt the ascent to Mytikas can choose a visit to the nearby peak of Profitis Ilias, a walk to the shelter of Kakkalos or relax on the tallest balcony in Greece!
On our return we follow the route Muses’ Plateau – Zonaria – shelter of Spilios Agapitos – Prionia.
Then the bus will pick us up and we will return to Thessaloniki, making the 3 same stops as our departure (One Salonica Outlet Mall, City Center (Galerius Arch) and Kalamaria (Chilis 12).
This activity requires very good physical condition and is not recommended to people with myosceletical problems or fear of heights & acrophobia.
