About This Tour

Those who are experienced climbers, every time they are there enjoy every moment as if it is their first time ...

Especially the three-day ascent to Mount Olympus is a unique experience for anyone who wants to get to know the mountain of the gods up close, without reaching its limits, as the three days give the opportunity to enjoy the routes, share the hours of hiking, and be enchanted by the smells and images that this mountain generously gives!

A three-day trip that gives you the opportunity to see the mountain from both sides, to make a "small circle", to sleep in two different shelters, and to return home full of emotions, tired, but not exhausted!

Olympus is the highest mountain in the country with an altitude of 2918 meters (Mytikas peak) and the second-highest in the Balkans. High, rocky peaks stretch across the horizon and paths in all directions to choose from!

Olympus is a difficult mountain, with large altitude differences (ascent) and requires attention and respect from everyone, experienced and beginners. Especially the last part of the mountain to the peaks requires attention and experience.

Combine your good mood and good physical condition (moderate and above), with the experience of the Happy Mountain executives and you will find the way to climb the most imposing mountain in Greece! It takes effort and effort!

After all, the ultimate satisfaction we feel every time we return from there, is that we managed to raise children and adults to the top - basically beginners and young people on the mountain! We managed to give satisfaction to all these people who trust us every time! We managed to bring people close to nature, who at some point will return, alone or with friends!

So if you want to experience one of the strongest mountaineering experiences within borders, read in detail the program of the three days ...

Rest and close afternoon walk in the surrounding peaks (Profitis Ilias or Kakkalos shelter, on the other side of the Plateau - a hot chocolate or a tsipouro in this hot shelter is a must!). Depending on the weather, we can try to reach the top at noon, starting from the shelter on the plateau of Muses. If the weather does not allow it (rain, fog, etc.), we can hike to the nearby peak of Prophet Elias.

Day 3 nan

Relaxed breakfast, lunch at the shelter and return to Petrostrouga shelter and Gortsia location. Our return will take about 5 hours.
We reiterate that three days is an ideal choice for a more relaxed climb, as well as in case of bad weather and "closed" weather, we have the opportunity to reach the high peaks either on Saturday morning, or Saturday at noon, or even on Sunday. in the morning!
NOTE..The top is not an end in itself! We will approach the top of Mytikas only if the weather allows and only those who are able to attempt it. The tour leader has the right not to allow the climb to the top of a person who either does not follow the instructions or considers that he is not able to complete the attempt to the top. Everyone's safety is everything!

    The challenge of hiking to the Mytikas summit was exhilarating, and the breathtaking views from 2918m made every step worthwhile. I savored delicious meals at the mountain hut, although a bit more variety in breakfast options would have been nice.

    The experience of summiting Mytikas at 2918m was unforgettable, with breathtaking views that made every challenging step worth it. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, though I would suggest adding more variety to breakfast options to fuel those long hiking days.

    The three-day hiking experience up to Mytikas was breathtakingly rewarding! Each day brought stunning views, and the meals prepared at the mountain huts were delicious, especially the local Greek dishes that fueled my energy. I would suggest a bit more time at the summit to truly soak in the majestic scenery, but overall, this adventure in Olympos was unforgettable!

    Embarking on this exhilarating hiking adventure was a dream come true, as I finally set my sights on the majestic Mytikas summit. The accommodations were surprisingly comfortable, allowing me to recharge for the next day’s climb while soaking in the stunning views of Olympus. My only suggestion would be to provide a bit more guidance on the trail’s more challenging sections, but overall, it was an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking landscapes and camaraderie.

    Reaching the Mytikas summit felt like stepping into a postcard—breathtaking views at 2918m made every step worth it. The cozy mountain lodge I stayed in was a perfect retreat after long days of hiking, though I wish there had been a bit more variety in the dinner options.
