Estimated Walking Time: approx. 8-9 hours On the second day we wake up early and after breakfast we start for the top of Mytikas (2,918m). The climb to the top requires extra effort and above all you must not have altitude sickness. With the use of safety equipment we will reach the top of the highest mountain in Greece, from where we will enjoy the unique view of the peaks of Olympus and the Olympic coast. Then, after enjoying the magnificent view and signing the visitor’s book, we descend and follow the path to the Spilios Agapitos refuge. After a short stop we continue the path to Prionia where the car will be waiting for us to take us back to Litochoro. We must know that the decision to climb to the top is up to the guide depending on the weather conditions and the physical condition of the participants.
