Overview

Olympus, the towering mountain range in Northern Greece, reigns as Greece's highest peak and the mythical abode of the gods. Its majestic presence embodies the rich tapestry of Greek mythology. Mt. Olympus routes offer hiking enthusiasts unique paths to breathtaking peaks. Surrounded by mythology, the journey becomes infused with a sense of magic and history, drawing hikers and nature lovers from around the globe. Discover incredible views and immerse yourself in the allure of this legendary destination.

We'll explore Mt. Olympus together, visiting its stunning spots. Prionia (1,100m) is a must-see, as is the National Forest of Olympus by the Enipeas river. We'll also stop at the Monastery of Agios Dionysios and have lunch in Litochoro, a charming town at the mountain's base.

Discover the enchantment of nature as you delve into the captivating world of Olympus. Unveil the secrets of mythology, unravel ancient myths, and immerse yourself in timeless traditions.

Upon demand, we can modify the program to include a visit to the Museum and archaeological site of Dion. A tour guide can be arranged based on availability.

During the summer months (June - September), we offer the opportunity to swim in the beautiful Stream of Agia Kori.
