(Single = single room travelling together)

Note:

  • Price is per person, flight excluded. Should you travel with more than 2 persons, download the tour description document for more prices.
  • Specified room type only in the hotel in Litochoro. Day 3, 4 and 5 are in mountain refuges on dormitories with shared facilities.
  • We strongly advise against making this trip alone!
  • From January 1st 2018 in Greece an‘overnight tax’ is applicable. This tax has to be paid at check-in at your accommodation. Tourorganisations are not allowed by law to pay this tax.
    The rates per room per night were until 2023: € 0,50 for 2*-hotels, € 1,50 for 3*-hotels, € 3,00 for 4*-hotels and € 4,00 for 5*-hotels.
    It seems they’ll be lifted to: €1,50 for 2*-hotels, €3,00 for 3*-hotels, €7,00 for 4*-hotels and €10,00 for 5*-hotels.
    It's still not clear whether mountain refuges will impose this tax.
  • Because of the altitude and snow conditions this arrangement can be booked with start date from 1 June until 12 October..
    Until mid June and after mid October there might be snow at high altitudes, making this trek more difficult. Bad weather is always a possibility. It might not possible be to reach the summits!
    In case of unusual heavy snowfall the upper refuges will open later in the year and it won’t be possible to make the trek.
