Olympus - Mytikas (2918m), hike to Greece's highest peak
Activity Description
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 all, experienced and beginners. Especially the last part of the mountain to the peaks, requires attention and experience.
Combine your good mood and a good physical condition (from moderate and above), with the experience of our executives 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 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 will return at some point, alone or with friends!
So if you want to experience one of the most powerful mountaineering experiences within borders, read in detail the two-day program ...
