Athens is one of the few capitals on the planet that offers the wonderful opportunity of so many hiking trails and climbing fields within walking distance of the city center. Athens offers year-round hiking and climbing activities. Winters are mild. As for the summers, there is always the northern slopes of the mountains protected from the sun and heat.

Ymittos, within the city limits, is a three-season mountain, rarely covered by snow. It is known for its unique thyme honey, its impressive caves and its historical

monasteries. Walk along its well-trodden paths and look for traces of the ancient Sfittias road between the hills of Prophet Elias and Montenegro. From here until the

mid-19th century, farmers from Koropi moved daily to transport their produce (mainly olives, grapes, figs, etc.) to the Athens market.                                                         

Parnitha is the only National Park in Europe so close to the capital (40 km). Its dense vegetation is home to 42 mammals, including deer, foxes and many bird species.

Two mountaineering clubs together with the Parnithas Forestry have set up a network of trails that stretch across the mountain. Many trails pass by springs,

crossing dense forests and glades. In addition, there are two mountaineering shelters, one in Bafi belonging to the Athens EAW and the other in Flambouri

belonging to the Acharnes EAW, where rest and sleep are possible.

We can propose numerous routes of various difficulties and arrange a guide for your hiking.
