Mt Olympos Summit

October 12, 2006 at 2.25 pm · Filed under Travels

Our bid to summit mt. Olympos on Sunday 8th February was cancelled due to bad weather.

We started our accent on Saturday from Prionia in 1100m and reached refuge A at 2100m after 2:30 hours. The hike is about 6km and is well maintained.

The weather was rainy and foggy which made the accent from refuge A difficult and dangerous.
This is the summit (Mitikas) in one of the few moments that wasn’t hidden from fog.

This is a panoramic view from refuge A.

On our way back to Athens something happened that reminded me of my dreams when I was young. Near Litochoro, we picked up a hitch hiker couple from Austria that have travelled through Balkans. When asked what they are doing they replied that they are studying through travelling! To conclude, we might try again this weekend if the weather is better
