Litokhoron Attractions

Litókhoron, 5km/3mi west of the Salonica-Lárisa road, is the best starting-point for an ascent of Mt Olympus. From Litókhoron a road (unsurfaced, but negotiable by cars) climbs to a height of some 1,200m/3,900ft, from which it is three hours on foot to a mountain hut (skiing area) at 2,100m/6,900ft. From there it is another three hours to the summit of Mitikás, the highest peak (2,917m/9,571ft). From Litókhoron there is also a gentle walk through the beautiful Enippeas valley; the route follows the covered watercourse.
