Subj: Re: Mount Olympus

Hi Erich|

I can only recommend that part of Greece| So drag that companion up the
mountain|

Probably the most usual way is to go by car to Litohoro, and than from there
to Prionia (1100m). You can leave the car there and walk up to the shelter
named "Spilios Agapitos" (2100m). It takes about 3 hours. The distance is
6km. But if you do this version you miss the most wonderful part:the valley
from Litohoro to Prionia. It is defenetly worth the time, and the trail is
almost uninhabited.
The refuge "Spilios Agapitos" is extremely nice. I think you should make
reservations if you plan to sleep there. You should. Because for the ascent
to Myticas (the summit of Mount Olympus-2917m) the best time is early in the
morning. By midday it'll get cloudy and you wont be able to enjoy the wonderful
view.
If you have more time, than you should go to the "Plateau of Muses". It has two
shelters, the smaller one (a shelter named "Christos Kakkalos") is nicer (for
me at least). From here you can easily reach two more summits: "Profitis Ilias"
(2786m) it is no more than a walk- and "Stefani"(2905) probably the hardest of
the upper three. The plateau and the view from it is fantastic-it is
worth all the trouble.
From here you can make a descent in the direction of "Petrostrunga". It takes
about 6 hours and is something like 15km. This'll take you down to the road
which goes from Litohoro to Prionia. But from that point Litohoro is still far
away...

I don't think you need technical equipment. But if you go in early June, you
and your companion will probably have to face some snow on the mountain. In the
upper part you should always be aware of falling rocks.
