피에리아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산 정상

The chapel of Prophet Elias on Mount Olympus is the church of the Orthodox Church located at the highest altitude. It celebrates on July 20th and on those days, Priests go up and celebrate Divine Liturgy and Vespers. If you find out when they will take place, it is one of the most beautiful religious experiences.

Very, very rewarding. I personally climbed the summit in snow (mid-May). The last part from Skala to Mytika was absolutely not easy and requires experience hiking and climbing in less than optimal conditions, at least in snow. The summit is still highly recommended and is certainly a lot easier in season. :)

Nice resting point in the sun

You have to be very careful here because the path is really steep. A helmet is recommended, especially when there are a lot of people, because stones could fall. If you don't have a helmet with you, you can rent one in Spilios Agapitos for 5 euros. The markings are good, but you can lose them for a moment in some places. The stones are also slippery here and there. For people who are afraid of heights (like me) there are also airy places. But it's a lot of fun!

The summit is near Mitikas and from there you can see the highest peak in Greece and the steep path to it. The route to Skala is not easy either and you need to take breaks.

If you are on your way to Mitikas, you can choose between two paths. One goes directly to the summit, the other leads first to Skala and then you have to take the steep path to Mitikas.

beautiful view from open meadow

Just to enjoy!
