Experience an immersive survival adventure in the heart of Mt Olympus. Master your skills in wilderness survival as you gather materials, start a fire using friction, collect and purify water, and set up your tent or shelter for an overnight stay. Face your fears and conquer new challenges with thrilling activities like canyoning and paragliding in the legendary surroundings of Mt Olympus.
We will take a private minivan to the mountain refuge of Koromilia at 1100 meters on Mount Olympus. That will be our base for the next three days as we practice survival skills. On the first day, there will be an introductory briefing followed by a short walk to a nearby waterfall.
Soft and hard survival training will begin after breakfast at the lovely shelter. We’ll learn the fundamentals, how to prepare, and how to protect ourselves before spending the day in the field.
Today is focused on improving the survival and camp preparation processes using natural materials. Despite the fact that the day will be long, it will undoubtedly be interesting and productive. Besides, we’ll sleep and eat at the camp we’ll set up tomorrow.
Our day will begin and end at the camp that we have established. It is up to us how comfortable the camp will be, how we will collect and filter water, how we will light a fire, how and where we will cook, and how we will be protected from the elements at night. The night will be spent in tents or in a camp area that we will set up.
We will be armed with enough confidence after the unforgettable experience of the previous day and night to enter a gorge for canyoning. A process that necessitates rappelling abilities and discipline. Even the most demanding will be compensated by the unique experience and movement in the gorge with waterfalls, small lakes, and jumps. We will be transferred to Paleos Panteleimon in the evening.
Our day will begin with a relaxed tour of old Panteleimon and a unique landscape. We will then be transported to the paragliding runway. A stunning conclusion as we see the entire Olympic coast and Mount Olympus from above! We will have a festive dinner and share our experiences in the evening.
All beautiful things come to an end, but before they do, we will have the opportunity to enjoy our final breakfast in the picturesque village with the panoramic view, and then we will transfer to Thessaloniki’s airport.
