From village to village over beautiful paths down and up, to the Lousios River and past monasteries that cling to the rock face like swallow nests - museum visit included. Warning: due to the opening hours of the monasteries (mornings) it is better to hike in the opposite direction (see also a hiker's note in the comment section).

E4 06 Vitini-Kardaras by Peer
October 07, 2022 · Community
Rüdigers Infos waren sehr hilfreich für diese Tour und haben uns gute Dienste geleistet. Wer den E4 laufen will, sollte eine gute Karte und idealerweise auch einen GPS-Tracker dabei haben, da die Auszeichnungen oft fehlen oder sehr spärlich gesetzt sind und manchmal durch schwieriges Terrain führen. Der Melanon-Trail hingegen ist auch für Anfänger super leicht zu laufen.

Rundtour Olymp, Mytikas Oktober 2017 by Frank
May 14, 2021 · Community
Schönster Weg auf den Olymp - aber besser in die Gegenrichtung machen (Dion - Petrostrougka - Agapitos - Litochoro). So umgeht man die Massen, kann den Louki-Korridor auf- statt absteigen und man wird zwischen Agapitos und Skolio/Skala nicht so zermürbt.
