Highlights
  • Mygero Refuge - A hiking experience on Psiloritis Mount promises to be a challenging but rewarding adventure. The hike to the summit typically takes around 6-7 hours total and covers a distance of about 11 kilometers. The trail is a bit steep and rocky, but the stunning views of the surrounding landscapes and the Mediterranean Sea make the effort worth it.

As you ascend higher, the terrain becomes more rugged and the weather conditions more unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared with appropriate gear and supplies.
