Litochoro (Greek: Λιτόχωρο, Katharevousa: Λιτόχωρον) is a town and a former municipality in the southern part of the Pieria regional unit, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it has been part of the Dio-Olympos municipality, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit. It is located at the base of Mount Olympus, on the western shore of the Thermaic Gulf. The first recorded mention of Litochoro is in an account of a visit by Saint Dionysius (Greek: Άγιος Διονύσιος) to Mount Olympus in the 16th century. The town is a popular destination for those wishing to climb Mount Olympus as almost all climbing routes begin to the southwest of the town.

I would like to write in English because it is an amazing path. Starting from Myloys location in Litoxoro... you go to a path with very nice forest. The path is going close to the Enipeas river and the cold water and the rumor creating at some point an interesting situation. You are passing to the old monastery of Dionisios and the Cave to Dionisios . Finally, you arrive at Prionia location rand you can enjoy a nice soup

My 11 year old and I hiked from the parking lot to the two lower summits in a single day - difficult but extremely gratifying! It's a really long climb but not in any way technical. Ideal is staying at the refuge and hiking the four peaks from there. We were in runners which did the trick but boots would have been better near the peak. There is a great alternative return from Skolio through the canyon below - check out a hiking map before hiking it.
