Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. At a height of 2,918m above sea level, it towers over Northern Greece, and can be seen as far away as Thessaloniki. It is situated on the borders of Thessaly and Macedonia.
Olympus has 52 peaks in total, but the two main peaks are Mytikas, the highest peak, and Skolio, the second highest. The mountain is accessible all year round, but caution is advised in the winter months. There are seven main refuges on the mountain and several emergency shelters. Most of the refuges are open in the spring and summer months only. Each with varying seasonal times.
Situated on the E4 route, there are many paths that can be followed around the mountain, that all have a pleasant and wonderful scenery, that will make any trek well worth the effort. The journey to the top can begin at Litochoro, where the E4 starts on Olympus, or you can begin the climb at the last car park at Prionia. The trek can be done quite easily over a pleasant two days, but with this much beauty, why not spend some time taking it in, and that amazing tranquil silence.
