Awesome hike through Mount Olympus. It was splendid with a guide who spoke really good English so understanding was easy. The only downside in our opinion is the price. We find it a bit expensive knowing that we also have to provide our food + water. The outing is therefore a little expensive but this hike was still very much worth it. On top of that we were only 4 (including guide), and that’s really royal! We were amazed for 5 hours through 12km of walking between climbs and descents. Be careful though: the hike is of average level. The joints are put to the test!

very well thought of trail, worth exploring. we had a Greek person on the tour, and the guide decided to talk mainly in Greek… that was a bit off.
