E4 Hiking Trail in Olympus National Park

Highlight • Trail

On this section of the E4 it goes steeply uphill to the Refugio A. But mostly through forest and therefore quite shady. Unfortunately with little view.

Wooden Shelter in Mount Olympus National Park

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In about an hour from Prionia you reach this rest area with a small shelter and a water source, which had no water in the summer. After a good rest you can continue.

Last 💧water source and shelter if refuges are closed

Highlight • Rest Area

Last water source before the summit in winter (Nov - April) when the refuges are closed! Even this one can be dry, particularly in summer; so it's safest to carry water for all the days of the climb from Prionia. The water is pure and of excellent taste.

E4 Trail to Mount Olympus (Mytikas)

Highlight • Trail

Better make room in time. The animals have their way and don't like human obstacles!

Spectacular valley view at 1,800 m

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the switchbacks the views reach deep along the valley, with forests on both sides at lower elevation, and a hint of the sea mist in the distance.

Prionia trailhead to Mount Olympus — Prionia 1100 Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

The elevation is actually 1076m at the end of the paved road. A large parking area with restrooms, pure mountain drinking water fountains, and a restaurant are the last opportunities for food, electricity, and communication until hiking up to the huts near the summit. Note the mountain huts are closed from the last week of October to April, and the upper trails often covered in snow.

September 12, 2023,Prionia - Richtung Mount Olympus (Griechenland)

Strenuous tour. Constantly uphill.
The hiking time shown is incorrect (for whatever reason).
Were you going too fast? :-D
Total hiking time approx. 7 hours.

The calculated walking time is not correct. We were on the road for about 5 hours.

So close to Olympus and yet so far away! We started at the car park at the end of the road. From then on it was a steady climb⛰️🥵. Cold, wet, sunshine... we had it all. If you don't like walking steep paths, you should go back the same way... otherwise a great tour 😍
