High above the Aegean Sea, where storms gather around the throne of Zeus and ancient myths cling to the clouds, a journey unlike any other awaits – the Greece 7 Summits. Led by world-renowned mountaineer Jason Black and The Elite Guiding Team, you’ll traverse ancient trails once walked by philosophers and warriors, then scale steep alpine walls where only the bold dare to continue. Nights are spent in mountain refuges perched above rolling thunder and seas of cloud — places where wind whispers through the stones, telling stories of gods, heroes, and mortals who challenged the impossible. Here, every summit has a spirit. Mytikas – the highest pinnacle in all of Greece rises like the palace of the gods. Stefani, the crown-shaped “Throne of Zeus,” challenges every climber to step where legends were born. Skolio, Skala, Agios Antonios, Profitis Ilias, and Toumba form a rugged circuit of ridges, breathtaking view a labyrinth of rock that demands respect, endurance, and unwavering belief. Legends are not born in temples, but carved by those who dare to rise This is Olympus as few will ever witness. This is Greece at its most raw and divine. This is the Greece 7 Summits. Answer the myth. Rise to the throne.
