We leave Thessaloniki at 09:30 AM and head towards the legendary Mount Olympus – the highest and most mythical mountain in Greece. After about 90 minutes, we stop for a quick stretching break at the stunning Orlias Gorge, where our hiking route begins.

We’ll take a shaded, well-marked trail through the forest for about one hour of gentle uphill hiking. Our destination? The spectacular Red Rock Waterfall, standing over 20 meters high and flowing into a deep, crystal-clear pool – perfect for a fresh mountain swim.

We’ll spend about 30–40 minutes here to swim, relax, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful mountain vibe.

After hiking back down the same path, we’ll reach the van and enjoy a snack break with local treats, fresh fruit, and salad – all included.
