Bench With a View of Mount Olympus

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can take a break and enjoy the great view. Since the route is steep here, it is worth a stop. Unfortunately, there is no shade.

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.

Skala Peak (Mount Olympus)

Highlight • Summit

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.
