The excursion is very good. It is not the climb to the summit (2918 m), but a 3-part excursion: - A mini hike to a small waterfall (the one in the photos) - A visit to the archaeological site of Dion - A stop in Litochoro, where it is best to go eat at the same restaurant as the guide: very good and typically Greek, even better than those in town.
Really good tour! Very informative and interesting locations. The hike does have some somewhat treacherous rocky steps, so wear good shoes and be of decent mobility. Good amount of time to swim in the little lake.
Very interesting and neat trip. Hike was a bit rough but manageable. Bring swim suit firca quick dip, but be careful cause rocks are slippery at the lagoon.
The mountains are lush green. We had plenty of time at each stop.
This was an excellent and well balanced trip. It was a nice mix of historical and geographical highlights. The guide, Sisi,was excellent. She showed real enthusiasm and was able to provide information without overdoing it. Her English was excellent and she added great value to the trip.
We had a wonderful visit to Mt Olympus and the surrounding areas of Dion and Litochoro. The hike to the waterfall and the cave was great to get up close and personal to the magic and mystique of the mountain -- it's easy to see why Zeus and the Olympians selected this mountain as their abode! Special thanks to Eva for being an incredible guide, providing insightful and humorous anecdotes about the local legends -- she truly exemplifies the hospitality for which the Greeks are known!
My trip to Mount Olympus was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences I've ever had. As the legendary home of the Greek gods, Olympus offers a unique blend of natural beauty, adventure, and history. A special mention goes to Eva, our guide, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the journey even more enjoyable. She shared fascinating information about the mountain's history, mythology, flora, and fauna, helping us appreciate Mount Olympus on a much deeper level. Her guidance and encouragement throughout the trip made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. I would also like to thank Lazarus, our driver, who was friendly, punctual, and ensured smooth and comfortable transportation throughout the trip. His excellent driving and warm personality contributed greatly to the overall positive experience. Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Mount Olympus to anyone who enjoys nature, or Greek history. It offers an incredible adventure, unforgettable views, and a chance to experience one of the most iconic mountains in the world. I would gladly return and explore more of its trails in the future.
Great experience and worth it! Our guide Eva was wonderful and very friendly. Smooth journey and enjoyed all the stops. Highly recommend!
Great trip to get out of the city and see the beautiful countryside. We were met by Giorgios at the square and taken in a lovely air conditioned minibus for about an hour and a bit to Mount Olympus. All the while he was providing information about where we were going and the myths/ legends behind it. A small hike took us to a waterfall where the water was so clear and apparently freezing (I wasn’t brave enough to go in!). We then went to Dion which is an amazing archaeological site and inexpensive at €10 to get in. A short ride after in the bus to Litochoro, where those who wanted to could walk to Enipea canyon with Giorgios. Absolutely stunning views and well worth the short walk in. A relaxed lunch in the town and then the ride back. Fabulous day and would highly recommend it.
Don’t waste your money on this. Mount Olympus was the only interesting bit of this trip and even that felt like a waste of time for a mediocre waterfall, and it made no sense to do the swimming at the beginning of the tour. They you hike a little along to see some sad, put together shrine of a lady who lived on the mountain, highly disappointing. Dion is definitely a scam, where you are paying a €10 entry fee to walk up and down and see nothing! Google it first and look at the pictures of it, trust me (I should have). And don’t get me started on this, the Olympus National Park Information Centre - Talk about lack of things to see, another scam. All in all, I would really like a refund and my waste of a day back, that could have been used for something else.
