Route questions, answered
Specific planning questions, with the scope of each source kept visible.
Is the three-hour estimate a summit time?
No. It applies only to Prionia–Spilios Agapitos refuge; Mytikas is a separate ascent.
Does Enipeas Gorge share this starting point?
The source places the E4 gorge approach at Litochoro/Myli. Do not substitute its distance or time for the Prionia approach.
Are refuge opening dates confirmed?
No. Current refuge operation, seasonal snow and access require separate local checks.
