"A good hike from the refuge to the east (1550m). Starts in forest then exposed for the rest of the walk, the first half roughly NNW before switching back, eventually reaching the saddle between this and Athanati Rachi. Lots of varied geology. Saw small blue butterflies, and larger, yellow ones, plus some lizards and some unusual bugs. Plus a large bee with a bright green head. Some snow still in the hollows, compacted and a metre thick, I wonder how long it will last. Climb steep in parts, a couple of sections relatively flatter. The top of the peak has some stone-built shelters in various states of repair. Not many people for a popular peak, met three couples and a solitary guy. Same route on way back with a detour up the neighbouring Athanati Rachi. This was impressive as there is a steep drop on the part you don't see from Ilias, and a view deep into the range." — vygodski • Jun 21, 2023
"Climbed after Profitas Illias. Straightforward from saddle. Route actually marked with orange splodges on the rocks, but made my own way. A great view of lots of other great areas to explore." — vygodski • Jun 21, 2023
"Arrived at just over 2000m in a vehicle from the ski-base to southeast of the top on a very rough track. From here it was a straightforward if not guiltless trek to the top, pretty much directly up. Guilt, yes, but so out of shape, need to find my mountain legs again. Well marked trail mostly on loose gravel and small rock. Small shelter on top with concrete pillar, the adjacent high point looked higher, well it always does, doesn't it, so I checked that out, and confirmed it wasn't (unless the same logic applied in reverse that is, logic has a habit of that - damn Greeks). Back same way. " — vygodski • Jun 19, 2023
"Me and a friend we climbed Kyllini (Ziria) on a weekend trip from Athens. We started from Ziria ski center and spent the night by a clear gurgling streamlet, some half way up the mountain. We went up the summit on the next morning. The sky was foggy, so, unfortunately, we didn't get to wonder at the amazing view which we'd otherwise have, but the mountain was definitely enchanting as it was, and we also encountered a drove of wild horses high up the mountain.

"Second mountaineering course with Hellenic Alpine Club of Athens.Despite the poor snow cover we were lucky enough to find an icy slope and practice self arrest right below the summit. " — Christos • Feb 7, 2016
