Tips
Mytikas (Μύτικας Mýtikas), meaning "nose", is the highest peak on Mt Olympos, at 2,918 metres (9,573 ft). The easiest, still quite steep, trail here is from Skala peak, which is just a few meters lower. It's a rock scramble down and across a narrow ridge. The other access is via the steep gully that comes straight up. Mount Olympus has 52 peaks, deep gorges, and exceptional biodiversity. For both scrambles sure footedness, tolerance of heights, and dry conditions are strongly advised.

Can only be reached with not very easy, but rope-free climbing. Only for those with a head for heights! Very rewarding!
