Two-day Ascent to Mytika: Prionia - Shelter Spilios Agapitos - MytikaA wonderful route to the top of the emblematic Olympus.
The Two-Day Climb in Mytikas is certainly a unique experience in the life of a hiker! Olympus is a landmark for lovers of mountain hiking and nature and of course for those who love challenges!
We cross the East Side of Olympus. Our route follows beautiful paths in the verdant environment of the mountain. Starting from Prionia at 1,000m and following the European Trail E4 we reach the shelter Spilios Agapitos at 2,100m, after about 3-4 hours. Time to enjoy the unobstructed view to Litochoro and the Aegean and to rest! The next morning at sunrise we start for the final ascent. We follow the sigmoid path E4 until we reach Triethnes at an altitude of 2,400m. At this point the 3 main paths of Olympus separate. We continue on the main path E4 to the top of Skala (2,866m). From this small plateau we enjoy stunning views across the mountain. From there, depending on the prevailing weather conditions, we follow either the stone path to Mytikas at 2,918m or the path to Skolio at 2,911m, the second highest peak in Greece. Our current hike lasts 8-9 hours, always depending on the dynamics of the team.
