To those who have climbed both Mt. Olympus in Greece and some of the fourteeners in Colorado, is Mount Olympus any harder than, say, the Maroon Bells?

Comment on boat cruise, turkey style by alex

Hello
Can you help, please? or advise who can.

We are spending two weeks in Turkey in August. (1 x week on a yacht and 1 x week in a villa) I want to arrange a short Gulet/yacht/boat cruise starting from Kas and ending in Goeck (and then transfer to Dalman airport).
Leaving Kas on Sunday 19th and arriving Goeck Wednesday 22nd (morning) Is this something you can organise and advise on an interesting/fun itinerary.
Happy to stay on-board over night or in local port hotels/apartments?
What are the costs. We are two adults and 3 x children ages 10, 12 + 14 years.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Alex

We did it in July. It is tough going in parts but neither of us had done any specific training. A bit of mental toughness certainly helps. But if you allow plenty of time and are of average fitness, it is very doable. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for your great, and detailed, entry for your climb! I don’t have much hiking experience, and am in average physical shape (trying to use this as an opportunity to get fitter!) and have been invited to climb Olympus in late May. Could I ask if you think it would be doable? How hard did you find it/ are you experienced hikers? Thanks very much!

Doing this hike in May right after Delphi, and right before Sparta. If you can share any tips regarding scenery, or places of interest around the town/mountain, let me know!

well wishes.

Please let me know if any age can manage to climb this mountain. Also, I am from an area where I have lived at sea level for years - will I have trouble breathing there? Are there any accomodations which can be made for this.
thank you. I enjoyed your story! What fun!
