Three days on Mount Olympus for your gym community: hiking, honey and meals you cook yourselves.
We start from Litochoro and climb the mountain trails with a certified mountain leader. Along the way we meet beekeepers whose families have worked here for generations, taste honeys from different altitudes and learn how the flavour changes with the vegetation. We eat farm-to-table, with products from the producers we meet. One meal we prepare together.
One programme, three trails. You pick the intensity your group can handle, from a gentle walk to an ascent of over 600 metres, with nothing else in the trip changing.
