Leaving Litochoro behind us,  follow the signs towards Olympus and Prionia. The drive takes approximately half an hour, through a forest of deciduous and evergreen trees.  The car park is situated at the end of the road, next to a tavern; this is where one of the most frequented mountain paths begins. The route is clearly waymarked and bears no technical difficulties. A spring is located near the car park and it is a good idea to fill your bottles here,  since you will not find another spring along the way. You may, howaver, purchase bottled water at the shelter. The first section of the trail winds through a beechwood that soon gives way to a forest of bosnian pines. You should reach the shelter in approximately 2,5 to 3 hours. From here onwards, the scenery changes- trees become gradually fewer, giving way to low vegetation and rolling stones that make walking harder. A short while after the shelter, the path divides in two. Take the left branch, towards Skolio; the right one continues to the Muses’ plateau and the other shelters (Kakalos, Apostolidis). Later on, you should come across a sign pointing the way to Skolio, while on your right you will see Zonaria and the path towards Mytikas peak. It takes about two hours and a lot of patience to reach Skolio peak, with a breathtaking view of Mytikas, Stefani and several other peaks in the east and south.
