Quick answer
You don't need to climb to the summit to enjoy Olympus. The Enipeas gorge trail between Litochoro and Prionia passes waterfalls and pools in shaded forest. Prionia to the Spilios Agapitos refuge is a classic half-day climb with big views.
What to know
- Litochoro is the base town, near the coast.
