Trekking Hellas Mt. Olympus
An adventurous tour on the legendary Mt. Olympus!
A mountainous 2-day adventure tour on the legendary Mt. Olympus, home of ancient Greek Gods!
On our 2-day Hike Olympus tour, we will hike through this monumental natural landscape. Thickly forested slopes and steep rocky and cloud-covered peaks host more than 1.500 plant species, some of them rare and endemic, as well as wolves, jackals, deer, and some endangered bird and butterfly species. The mountain is uninhabited; however, there are 4 organized mountain huts (In our tour, we will stay at Spilios Agapitos mountain hut) offering shelter and food to its visitors, who stream from all over the world to admire its beauty.
