Hello
I would love to do this trek, but I have 1 or 2 questions..
Is it easy, at the end, to return to the start?
In how many days did you do it?
Thanks !
Hi,
to go back we had to go by foot to Olympos, and then we found a hitchhiking. So it depends on luck. I do not remember if there was any bus (maybe from Diafani at least).
the whole marked trip took 5 days ( 1 day back)
Hi there,
I'd like to do the part from Spoa to Olympos. Do you remember if there are any exposed/risky or technical parts that someone with acrophobia might have issues. I see the ending part, close to Olympos being a bit tricky and I was wondering whether you could provide me with some info respectively.
Thanks!
