_two-day excursion
On our two-day excursion we leave early on Saturday morning from Thessaloniki to Litochoro. After picking up the participants from other cities we start for the Gorcia forest location (35′). From there we start the ascent, following the route: Gortia – Petrostruga – Museon Plateau. Those who still have endurance can make the ascent to the top of Mytikas on Saturday afternoon.
We spend the night in the refuge of the plateau Giosos Apostolidis. The refuge has a kitchen that can offer a basic but very tasty (!!!) menu.
On Sunday, after climbing to the top, we will start the descent to Prionia with an intermediate stop at the Sp. Agapitos (Zolotas).
The two-day excursion requires very good aerobic & musculoskeletal fitness.
_three-day trips
On the three-day excursion, we depart from Thessaloniki at noon on Friday for Litochoro and then the forest location of Gortsia. From there we start our hike to the Petrostruga shelter where we spend the night on Friday night. On Saturday morning we join the group of the two-day excursion and depart for the shelter of Giosos Apostolidis, where we will spend the night on the second night. On Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, the ascents to the top of Mytikas take place for those who have registered.
On Sunday, after the last climb to the top, we will start the descent to Prionia with an intermediate stop at the shelter of Sp. Agapitos (Zolotas).
The three-day trip to climb Mount Olympus gives you the opportunity for easier adaptation to the altitude and more free time to enjoy the magical and breathtaking landscapes!
The ascent to Mytikas (2,918m) is optional, planned for Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, if the weather conditions allow it and for those whose physical condition allows it. The last part of the climb to Mytikas is done accompanied by a mountain guide and/or climbing instructor and we use climbing equipment (helmet, belay, rope). Those who do not wish to attempt the ascent to Mytika can choose a visit to the nearby peak of Profitis Ilias, a walk to the shelter of Kakkalos or relax on the tallest balcony in Greece!
On our return we follow the route Muses’ Plateau – Zonaria – shelter of Spilios Agapitos – Prionia.
