Mount Olympus ✅️
It was great hike be honest. I got lucky and was able to reach the main summit, which was just after opening for the season. The final push from Skala to Mytikas was more challenging than I expected, but at the same time I really enjoyed it! My guide Ioannis was good fun and helpful throughout the entire hike. Unfortunately no view from the top because of the clouds, but still a great experience overall!

Life changing family adventure!
Our two day trek up Mt Olympus to Skala peak was epic! The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Communication during our planning was second to none. Adam and Sotiris were professional, engaging and encouraging, they made our comfort and safety their top priority. They were perfect for our family and kept our kids hiking happily for every step of the way. The hike is a perfect combination of both challenges and reward. The pick up was seamless and all the gear was top notch. The lodge has everything you need and more. The views are spectacular, definitely worth it! If you are looking to hike up Mt Olympus, look no more.

amazing tourguide!
The whole team of Greek Adventure was just awesome! Fast reply via mail, flexible offers and doing "the extra mile" for the customers. I also had the possibility to get a Pickup from Thessaloniki. I had a 3 day trip with Giannis. He is an amazing tourguide with lots of empathy. Even if I had a flue we were doing my speed to reach the summit. I'm thankful for the whole team and can recommend to everyone to book your trip via Greek Adventure

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.
How much does Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece cost?
+
Prices start at $411 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Thessaloniki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Thessaloniki is not rushed.
Is Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Thessaloniki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Thessaloniki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Thessaloniki and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mount Olympus Hiking Experience - Trekking in Greece start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Thessaloniki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Thessaloniki?
+
On Outty we rank every Thessaloniki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef, Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom, Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Thessaloniki?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Thessaloniki?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
