Day 1 Arrival at Thessaloniki - Transfer to Litohoro- Hiking to refuge "Spilios Agapitos".

Arrival at the Thessaloniki airport and transfer to "Prionia", at altitude of 3500 ft (1.000 metres). At the beginning of the path we see a small waterfall and start hiking through beech and fir forests. As we continue our way up to 6,000 ft alt. (2.100m) we can admire a variety of woodland birds and flowers. After 3,5 hours of hiking we reach the "Spilios Agapitos" refuge. The rest of the day is free to relax for the next day climbing to the top of the mountain. (O\n "Spilios Agapitos" refuge)

We take a path up the cliffs, first reaching the peak "Skala" at 8,280 ft (2.882m) high and later the peak "Skolios" at 8,365 ft (2.911m) high. From there, we go for the optional side-trip to "Mytikas" at 8,382 ft (2.917m), the Greece's highest peak! The climb to Mytikas involves scrambling on a well-defined route and steep ascent of more than 2,500 feet on alpine terrain, followed by a long descent on the same path.
