Tiring but extremely rewarding path over the Barbalas cliff in Mt Olympos, 1850m. From the top you can enjoy breathtaking views over Pieria as well as on the alpic zone of Olympos.

The "Krevatia" refuge, 1008m
Nice people from the mayory of Vrontou village run this refuge every Saturday and Sunday, offering food, water and beds.
