The Mount Olympus has several routes that can be followed by a potential visitor. The majority of the routes are ideal for people who are not very experienced. One of them starts from "Myloi", very close to Litochoro, and ends at "Prionia", on an altitude of 1100 meters. It is part of the E4 international walking path and has many signs so it is impossible to get lost.
On the way to Prionia someone is crossing the Enipeas canyon. It stands for the numerous waterfalls, many plants, and trees. Here the visitor can also find the cave where St Dionysios lived as a hermit and the monastery dedicated to him. Prionia is the highest point where cars can reach. From that point, someone can only continue on foot. Walking the path can take from 4,5 to 5 hours.
From Prionia starts another route that leads to Shelter A and lasts almost 3 hours. This part is more demanding but is still considered of medium difficulty. A path from that spot reaches the peak of the mountain, the famous house of the 12 gods, Mytikas.
There are also many other paths on the mountain. Some of them are very difficult and are recommended only to very experienced hikers.
