Scenic river canyon right next to the town of Litohoro. A road leads down to some riverside restaurants. The Hellenic Mountaineering Association hut and information center is just before the descent into the gorge, for information about climbing the mountains around Mt Olympus.

Pass the Café Galleria, then go through the tunnel.

There are plenty of wonderful photo opportunities in front of and inside the castle. It's worth taking a closer look. The pomegranate tree is of course best seen in September/October.

This castle is definitely worth a visit (cheap entrance fee). When the sky is clear, there is a great view towards Olympus.

In summer it is a dry river, but with great stones. So far we have been on a forest road, now a signposted hiking trail begins.

The path doesn't exist like that. Continue a little further along the gravel road and then take a sharp left onto the forest path. Then the ground becomes more pleasant.

Nice little spot to use as a resting or even a turn around spot for a day hike. I've continued onwards and it's a pretty exhausting climb ahead - not really worth it, if you don't continue all the way to the waterfall or the Cave of Dionysos, which will at least be another 60mins.

Worth a visit. We were more than surprised...

The Frankish king of Thessaloniki, Boniface I of Montferrat built the fortress in its present form in 1205 on the walls of a Byzantine fortress from the 6th-10th. Century. From 1389, the castle and the village fell under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. After the liberation of southern Greece and the annexation of Thessaly to the Kingdom of Greece in 1881, the castle gained importance again because it was located on the Greek-Turkish border. With the conquest of the Greek region of Macedonia by Greece in the First Balkan War, the castle lost strategic importance and was neglected. Today it is used for theater performances, music concerts and other cultural events. Outside park access 24h with great views of the coast and the illuminated castle in the evening. Winter access to the inside castle (ticketed) Tuesday-Sunday 10-15h.

Starting point of the hiking trail to Prionia, and onwards to Mount Olympus, following the Enipea river, passing several turnoffs to other trails. It begins behind the restaurants occupying the idyllic bottom of the canyon.

Uphill from the large park and below the maze of narrow old town streets the large plaza surrounding the old Nicolao church opens for a view, and offers a walk out to the viewing terrace into the Enipea Gorge and up to the many peaks of the Olympus. The free hiker parking lot is behind the church. The 55 peaks outdoors store, the best in terms of equipment and useful mountain information, is just a few steps into the western street radiating off the traffic circle.
