Climb Olympus (2918m)
Mythical Summit in Greece
Overview
Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece (2918m) and one of the most legendary peaks in the world. Known as the mythical home of the ancient Greek gods, Olympus offers a stunning mix of history, culture, and natural beauty. This 3-day trek begins in the dense forests of Prionia, ascends through alpine trails, and culminates at the summit of Skala or Mytikas, with breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea. It’s a short yet unforgettable adventure, perfect for hikers of all levels.
When is the best time to climb?
The best time to climb Mount Olympus is from late May to early October, when the trails are clear, weather is stable, and mountain huts are open. June to September offers the warmest conditions and the highest chance of reaching the summit safely. In spring, you’ll find blooming wildflowers along the lower trails, while autumn offers crisp air and stunning views. Winter ascents are possible but require mountaineering experience, as snow and ice cover the higher sections and some routes may be closed.
