Situated at an altitude of 1,100m, Prionia features a parking lot. The 6km route, which takes approximately 4-5 hours with stops, is the most popular hiking trail on Mount Olympus. Most of the hike traverses dense forests of pine, beech, and fir trees and is well-maintained.
Our first day’s endpoint is the Spilios Agapitos Refuge, where we will spend the night either inside the refuge or in tents outside. The refuge is fully equipped with bathrooms, a kitchen, and a power supply. From here, we can enjoy views of the Aegean Sea and the stunning colors of the sunset.
