Enipeas Gorge Hike — Attraction in Dion - Olympos Municipality

Enipeas Gorge is an absolute gem nestled at the foot of Mount Olympus, Greece’s mythical mountain home to the gods. From the moment we started our hike from Litochoro, we were enveloped by the enchanting beauty of this natural wonder.

The trail through the gorge is well-marked and offers a moderate challenge, perfect for those looking for a bit of adventure without needing mountaineering skills. We were treated to a feast for the senses - the sound of the Enipeas River rushing beside us, the sight of emerald pools and small waterfalls, and the smell of the lush vegetation that carpets the gorge. The wooden bridges crossing the river added a charming, storybook quality to our hike.

We particularly enjoyed the historical and mythological elements intertwined with the landscape. The hike leads you past the Old Monastery of Agios Dionysios and the Holy Cave of St. Dionysius, providing a serene spot to reflect on the area's rich history. The biodiversity here is incredible, with numerous bird species and the occasional salamander sighting making the journey even more fascinating.

The trail, which can take around 6 hours to complete, offers stunning views of both Mount Olympus and the Aegean Sea, making every step worth it. Even on a hot day, the trail is shaded by dense vegetation, keeping you cool as you explore.

Our guide, courtesy of Mountain Spirit, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more memorable by sharing local stories and pointing out unique flora and fauna. The homemade sandwiches and fresh fruits provided by our guide were a delightful touch to our adventure.

We had an extravagant excellent trail today from Litochoro through Enipeas back to Litochoro circled trail! We started w E4all the way till 300 meters from Dyonesos cave cutting off before the last bridge up to a trail wear side of the gorge leading all the way to Litochoro. It is for trained good walkers and it's very challenging. Recommending 4 L of water at least and must notice the bridges mostly broken. The last two km we didn't trail as it got too late and we didn't want to get to the dark. Be sure to start early so you can have a visit to the cave and we were told there are also water fall near by. Take care and enjoy this...
