Mount Olympus is more than the backdrop to Three Peaks — it is the very reason we are here. Greece’s highest peak and one of Europe’s most celebrated hiking destinations lies just moments away. From our doorstep to the trailhead, it’s only a five-minute walk.
The classic Olympus ascent. Well-marked through ancient forests of black pine and beech, rising to the mountain refuge at 2,100m. Most hikers use this as a base for summit attempts the following morning. Spectacular views open from the final third.
The mythological seat of Zeus — the highest peak in Greece. The final ascent through the Plateau of the Muses and the rocky Kakoskala ridge is demanding. The panoramic reward across Macedonia and the Aegean is unlike anything else in this country.
Walk directly from Litochoro into one of Greece’s most dramatic gorges. The Enipeas river rushes through ancient rock walls, past Byzantine chapels carved into the cliff face. No technical equipment required — perfect for families or rest-day explorers.
A gentle forest loop ideal for birdwatching and wildflower spotting in spring. Dense pine cover keeps the path cool even in summer — perfect for an evening walk before dinner, or a family outing with young children.
Mid-May to mid-October for most trails. Summit attempts require snow-free conditions — typically late June through September. Spring offers wildflowers; autumn gives golden pine forests.
Sturdy hiking boots (mandatory above Prionia). Warm layers — temperatures drop sharply above 2,000m. Rain jacket, 2L+ water, sun protection, trail snacks, headlamp for summit starts.
