"Went to meet Zeus & Co. Found only hordes of hikers and few climbers, to which we added a count of 3 😆 4 (of out 52 🤦‍♂️) summits: Skala, Mytikas (or Pantheon, and the highest), Skolio, Agios Antonios. Family walk to Skala, then single push to Mytikas and exit via loop. I guess I was so excited, that even forgot to sign in summit registries 😆 Haven't seen the refuge's sleeping quarters, but based on glances at the dinning and common rooms, I'd say it's the cleanest and largest alpine hut/refuge I've ever seen. PS: coming from Canada, who would guess that Greece mountains have snow in it, eh 😆 spikes would've been handy." — alexp • Oct 10, 2025

"A walk along the ridge from Skala. Not too demanding after Mytikas. On descending encountered a group of chamois, perhaps eight in all. Quick progress back to refuge, even jogged some!" — vygodski • Jul 4, 2023

"The second day of a four-day trek on the Olympos Massif, Macedonia, Northern Greece. From the summit of Skala 2866m/c.40m to Skolio 2911m/101m, then descent by its south-east ridge, then Zonaria path to Christos Kakkalos Refuge (Refuge 'C'). 6.0km. After a short rest on the summit of Skala, soaking up the view, our guide Ivo led those who had not summited Mytikas down by our outward route of ascent. The rest of us decided to do a round of the cwm, and to rejoin the others at the start of the Zonaria path which traverses below Mytikas and Stephani to the Plateau of the Muses. I was particularly keen to reach the summit of Skolio in addition to Mytikas, as there was only 8m-9m of height difference between the two, according to the latest Greek map data. Given the unreliability of spot heights and contours on Greek maps, it would have been very galling to learn at some later date that, following another survey, Skolio was actually higher than Mytikas. It would have been frustrating not to have stood on the highest summit on Olympos. So we set off west on a faint path for our next objective, descending quickly to a shallow col, and then a push up to the summit of Skolio...." — marktrengove • Sep 13, 2017

"Climbed to the top of Mount Olympus to the Skolio peak at 9550ft/2911m. We decided to not do the Mytikas peak because life is pretty sweet and we don't really want to die. Maybe in the future if we ever pursue actual climbing techniques." — Kuskos • Aug 1, 2015
