Spilios Agapitos

Spilios Agapitos is a mountain refuge (hut) on Mount Olympus in Greece, and it is the main refuge on the mountain used by hikers for overnight stays. It is named after Spilios Agapitos, a Greek civil engineer and politician who was the architect of the first building of the refuge. The refuge was built in 1931 and at the time had 25 places. Today it has 110 places distributed across 3 separate buildings. The refuge is owned by and managed by E.O.O.A., the Greek mountaineering and climbing federation. From 1954 to 2001 the hut keeper was the mountaineer Kostas Zolotas, who made many of the improvements to the refuge; one of the three wings of the refuge bears his name. For more than 15 years, from 2001 to the present, the hut keeper has been Maria Zolota, daughter of Kostas Zolotas. The refuge is reached from the location Prionia in about 3 to 4 hours, and from it to the peak Mytikas the time is the same. As a commercial offering, the refuge operates as a hospitality and accommodation brand for mountaineers and tourists on Mount Olympus, with its own website and mountain information portal.
