Description
Olympus for the few! A "private" climb to the legendary mountain of the Gods, only for 2-5 people!
The climb on weekdays offers a calm, a landscape without the tourists of the weekend and the access to the peaks is easier...Especially when the group is so small (possibility of climbing even for only two people!), You have the feeling that the mountain is there just for you and a few more, chosen ones!
Olympus is the highest mountain in the country with an altitude of 2918 meters (peak of Mytika) and the second highest in the Balkans.High, rocky peaks stretch to the horizon and paths in all directions to choose from! Olympus is a difficult mountain, with large altitude differences (climbing slope) and requires attention and respect from everyone, experienced and beginners.Especially the last part of the mountain to the summit requires attention and experience.Combine your good mood and a good physical condition (from moderate and above), with the experience of our guides and you will find the way to climb the most imposing mountain in Greece! He wants both effort and way! After all, the absolute satisfaction we feel every time we return from up there, is that we managed to climb to the top children and adults - basically beginners and young people on the mountain! We managed to give satisfaction to all these people who trust us every time! We managed to bring people close to nature, who at some point will return, alone or with friends! So if you want to experience one of the strongest mountaineering experiences within borders, read in detail the two-day program.

c) East of the plateau of the Muses!
