Itinerary
Day 1
Thessaloníki/Litóchoro
Arrive in Thessaloniki by 3pm to meet your fellow travellers. From our meeting point, hop in a private transfer to Litochoro. Meet your CEO, an experienced local hiking guide, at tonight's welcome meeting. Opt to head out for dinner with the group.
Day 2
Litóchoro/Mount Olympus
Transfer to Priónia, where our Mount Olympus ascent begins. On today's half-day hike, travel along a section of the famous E4 path. Trek through lush forests of pine, beech and fir trees on one of the mountain's most well-travelled routes. Enjoy dinner at the refuge and prepare for tomorrow's summit hikes.
Day 3
Mount Olympus/Litóchoro
With an early morning start, head out to climb the Skala and Skolio summits — two of the highest among Mount Olympus' many peaks. En route back to the refuge, cross under the "Throne of Zeus" and over the Muses plateau. After a short rest, descend via the E4 and end the day in Litochoro.
Day 4
Litóchoro/Zagori
Travel to Meteora and see its famous clifftop monasteries. Learn about the area's history and unique geological features as you hike along local trails with unparalleled views. Pass by the ruins of Pantokrator and the "hidden" monastery of Ypapanti to reach the magnificent Varlaam and Great Meteoron towering over the valley. Transfer to Zagori.
Day 5
Zagori
Explore the quaint stone villages of Zagori, a region of made up of over 45 remote villages and hamlets tucked into the Pindus mountain range. Discover the area's beautiful arched stone bridges and cobbled paths, built to link dozens of mountainous communities together — centuries before roads! Today, it's a hiker's paradise.
Day 6
Zagori
Trek through the stunning Vikos Gorge, known as the "Greek Grand Canyon" and part of the Vikos-Aoos National Park. Carved by the Voïdomatis River over millions of years, the Vikos Gorge is the world's deepest canyon in proportion to its width, according to the Guinness records. Hike to some excellent viewpoints framed by striking limestone and dolomite formations. Later, enjoy dinner at a taverna that specializes in locally-foraged ingredients.
Day 7
Zagori/Préveza
After breakfast, take an included group transfer to the port of Igoumenitsa (for the Corfu ferry) or Preveza (for Aktion Airport).

Customer reviews & ratings
Superb tour made exceptional by the people of Greece & our tour leader Spyridoula I've already recommended this trip to several people.
John Oct, 2024 VerifiedI think I answered this question on the first page, but ....... This was a very memorable experience starting with meeting and, throughout the week, getting to know the other members of our group (6 in total), meeting our wonderfully exuberant CEO, Spyridoula, to the challenging hikes, learning a little of the history of Greece, the Greek Gods, the enjoying the delicious food. Spyridoula took care of all the needs of the group from start to finish, she really made the trip enjoyable and memorable. I plan to do many more GAdventures in the future. This is my second GAdventures trip. This experience, like the last, was well organized from start to finish. There is always an ease of travel with GAdventures - the CEOs make sure everything goes smoothly so we are able to enjoy the trip without the worry of all the details. They take care everything and also offer historical information and facts about the places we visit. I have already spoken to many about GAdventures and will continue to do so.
