Hiking in Mt Olympus National Park
Tour overview
Hiking in Mt Olympus National Park tour is a pleasant hike around the forgotten paths of the National Park, once used by men and animals alike.
Discover with us Mt. Olympus National Park. Follow the forgotten mountain path of “Nteli – Golna – Litochoro” while surrounded by a wonderful, thick Black Pine forest! A beautiful hike around the lower peaks of this “magical” mountain. The hike goes through valleys & thickly forested slopes, offering unique views of both the higher peaks and the Aegean Sea. We will truly hike in a place of natural beauty.
Our hike will commence a little above “Ai Giannis” church, crossing the dense pine forest, towards “Nteli” (850m). We will then continue uphill until we reach “Golna” peak (1000m), where we will make a short break at the kiosk to marvel the view, which is truly breathtaking! The rest of our hike is downhill towards the outskirts of Litochoro where we will continue along the path towards the church of Agious Apostolous. Soon after, we will enter the village and reach Trekking Hellas Olympus office where our hike will end.
