Route details

Day 1
Prionia – Spilios Agapitos Refuge

Distance: 6 km | Duration: 4–5 hours

Your adventure begins in Litochoro, where we set out together for Prionia (1,100m), the highest point accessible by car and the official starting point of the hike.

From here, we follow the most popular trail of Mount Olympus, a well-maintained 6 km route that winds through lush forests of pine, beech, and fir trees. Along the way, we’ll enjoy plenty of short breaks to take in the fresh mountain air and stunning natural scenery.

Our first day ends at the Spilios Agapitos Refuge, a fully equipped mountain lodge offering bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and electricity. Here, you’ll have the option to stay inside the cozy refuge or camp outside in tents. As the day closes, take in spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and a colorful mountain sunset.
