The route from Prionia to Spilios Agapitos Refuge (2100m) is a popular segment of the E4 European trail and represents the most frequented hiking path on Mount Olympus. Winding through a lush mix of pine, beech, and fir trees, the majority of the hike offers shelter from the sun. The well-maintained trail steadily ascends until we reach the Spilios Agapitos Refuge at 2100m, nestled on a natural flat surrounded by venerable Bosnian pine trees.
