Mount Olympus ✅️
It was great hike be honest. I got lucky and was able to reach the main summit, which was just after opening for the season. The final push from Skala to Mytikas was more challenging than I expected, but at the same time I really enjoyed it! My guide Ioannis was good fun and helpful throughout the entire hike. Unfortunately no view from the top because of the clouds, but still a great experience overall!

Super experience for our family
We did the river trekking in mount olympus, but also the walk with visit of a monastery in meteora and the long hile in the vikos gorge. All very well organized, friendly guides and a nice experience with our family.

Life changing family adventure!
Our two day trek up Mt Olympus
to Skala peak was epic! The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Communication during our planning was second to none. Adam and Sotiris were professional, engaging and encouraging, they made our comfort and safety their top priority. They were perfect for our family and kept our kids hiking happily for every step of the way. The hike is a perfect combination of both challenges and reward. The pick up was seamless and all the gear was top notch. The lodge has everything you need and more. The views are spectacular, definitely worth it! If you are looking to hike up Mt Olympus, look no more.

amazing tourguide!
The whole team of Greek Adventure was just awesome! Fast reply via mail, flexible offers and doing "the extra mile" for the customers. I also had the possibility to get a Pickup from Thessaloniki. I had a 3 day trip with Giannis. He is an amazing tourguide with lots of empathy. Even if I had a flue we were doing my speed to reach the summit. I'm thankful for the whole team and can recommend to everyone to book your trip via Greek Adventure

Incredible, once in a lifetime, magical Mount Olympus
I had the experience of a lifetime!!! An amazing 3 day Mt. Olympus hike, climbing to the summit of Mytikas, very safely guided by Thanos. I booked the trek via their website and had regular communication and offers of help with flights & transfers etc.. Stelios arranged our meet up and travel to and from Gortsia/Prionia, at the start/end of our trek, just adding to the ease of the experience!! Our hike was well thought out by Thanos, as well as carefully guiding us, he arranged all food and refuge accommodation again making the trek totally stress free. The hike itself was amazing, 1st day is the long steady climb to the summit plateau, with a refuge stop for lunch. 2nd day is the summit climb, which was just incredible, Thanos was exceptional this day, as scary as this climb is, he will confidently get you to the magical Mytikas summit!! We then started our descent and ended the day at another very clean and accommodating refuge, before completing the final descent on the 3rd day. A brilliant, once in a lifetime trek for me, with an excellent company!! I hope Greek Adventure will let me back on another of their treks soon!!

The most impenetrable place in Europe
No access to women.You need a special passport to justify your trip.Deceptive distances for the orography of the land.No camping.You stay in monasteries.There are wolves and it is not metaphor.
