Trip profile:

For a more thorough visit to the mountain, a three day ascend is a fairly good choice, but for someone who runs short of time in the country altogether, then a two-day ascent seems to be the second best. It covers the best possible that the two or three days could cover. It offers a great variety of hike types, very special Mt. Olympus morphology and scenery. The final stretch to the main and highest summit is a demanding scramble, giving a real feeling of achievement even to the experienced mountain walker / scrambler, being a “must” for everyone who loves the mountain great outdoors!

Why May and very beginning of June only?

Because of the extended snow coverage and still harsh weather on the higher parts of the mountain, especially in the first half of May, the highest summit cannot be the main objective, thus we aim for the second highest summit, Skolio at 2911m, as it is a walk and not a sramble. In the second half of May and quite often in the first half of June, the chances to climb the main summit Mytikas via its southern route “Kakoskala” increase significantly as the snow gradualy withdrows. This explains why we follow a “May and the very beginning of June” itinerary.
