Σύντομη περιγραφή

Guided Day hike on the foothills of Olympus!

A great day hiking in Enipeas gorge were you will have the opportunity to experience the unique natural beauty of the lower Olympus area. The dense vegitation and the hearing of the flowing water on the way calms you down and prepares you for this fantastic journey.

We will cross the Enipeas river several times through little wooden bridges and have the opportunity to refresh ourselves in the crystal clear ponds. Our path leads us just outside the historical St. Dionysus monastery and a unique chapel build in a cave and we will visit them both for a short tour and some rest.

The total hike is around 6-hours and covers a distance of 10km with elevation gain of 800m. The starting point is Litochoro village and finish is Prionia area where our van will wait to return us to Litochoro.

The opposite direction Prionia-Litochoro, with mostly downhill is also possible and if you would like shorter distance to suit your time and abilities.

Transporation from Thessaloniki and back can be arranged at extra cost.

6. Cancelation or Charges from our side

As most of our trips are planned months in advance some rare times we are obliged to make some minor changes and we reserve the right to do so. These minor changes do not include price, destination, and accommodation.

If a major change is needed due to unforeseen circumstances, we will notify you in writing as soon as possible and you will have the following options:

– to agree to changes and accept the impact including any change in price, or

– to transfer to another trip offered by us of lower value and receive a refund, or

– to transfer to another trip offered by us of higher value with extra charges and subject to availability, or

– to cancel the holiday and receive a refund of all monies paid by you to us

If any changes occur prior to your departure we will advise you immediately. We will not pay compensation or accept any liability where any change is due to circumstances outside or our reasonable control, including strikes, lock outs, labor dispute, acts of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, adverse weather conditions, flight delays and other matters affecting traffic control, terrorism or security alerts.

We also reserve the right to cancel any trip if sign-up is inadequate to make the trip economically feasible for us to operate, and in this event, we give a full refund of the trip price. However, Hiking Greece is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by you in preparing for the trip (e.g., non-refundable air tickets, visa fees if applicable, gear or medical expenses).
