About This Tour

Olympus for the few! A "private" climb to the legendary mountain of the Gods, only for 2-5 people!

The climb on weekdays offers a calm, a landscape without the tourists of the weekend and the access to the peaks is easier ... Especially when the group is so small (possibility of climbing even for only two people!), You have the feeling that the mountain is there just for you and a few more, chosen ones!

Olympus is the highest mountain in the country with an altitude of 2918 meters (peak of Mytika) and the second highest in the Balkans. High, rocky peaks stretch to the horizon and paths in all directions to choose from! Olympus is a difficult mountain, with large altitude differences (climbing slope) and requires attention and respect from everyone, experienced and beginners. Especially the last part of the mountain to the summit requires attention and experience. Combine your good mood and a good physical condition (from moderate and above), with the experience of our guides and you will find the way to climb the most imposing mountain in Greece! He wants both effort and way! After all, the absolute satisfaction we feel every time we return from up there, is that we managed to climb to the top children and adults - 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 two-day program.

Highlights!

a) The enchanting route in the forest!

b) The "Passage of Josus"!

c) East of the plateau of the Muses!

d) The figure of Zeus on the rocks looking towards the sea!

    Our two-day hiking experience to the summit of Mytikas was truly invigorating, combining stunning landscapes with a sense of connection to the legendary gods. We appreciated the private nature of the tour, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of Olympos without the usual crowds. The overnight stay in the mountain hut added a cozy touch, although a few more dining options would have been a nice addition to the experience.

    Our family’s hike to the Mytikas summit was nothing short of breathtaking; the views were a beautiful testament to the legends of Olympus. We were thrilled by our guide’s deep knowledge, which enriched every step and meal we shared, especially the local delicacies that made our breaks feel like feasts fit for the gods. One small suggestion would be to add more variety to the snacks offered during the hikes, but overall, this adventure was an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever.

    From the moment we set foot on the trail, we felt the kind of excitement that only comes with a quest to reach a legendary peak. Each step brought us closer to the summit, and with every switchback, we marveled at the stunning vistas that unfolded around us. The highlight for us was definitely the mountain hut where we enjoyed a hearty local meal; nothing beats sharing laughs over steaming plates of moussaka after a long day of hiking. The guides were not only knowledgeable about the terrain but also infused the experience with stories about the ancient myths that surround the area, making the journey feel almost divine. As we finally reached the top, we were overwhelmed by the feeling of accomplishment and the panoramic views stretching into the horizon. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more time for relaxation at the summit to soak it all in. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that brought us closer to nature and each other.

    What an exhilarating escape into the heights, where we found ourselves surrounded by breathtaking views and an air of ancient mythology; the overnight stay added a cozy touch to our adventure.
