Highlights
  • Parnitha - Escape the bustling city of Athens and embark on a captivating day of hiking in the breathtaking Parnitha mountain of Greece. Just an hour’s drive from the city, our adventure commences in Thrakomakedones, offering panoramic vistas of the Attica region, including the majestic Immitos and Penteli mountains. On a clear day, you can even glimpse the glistening Saronic Gulf, where the historic cities of Athens, Piraeus, and Sounio once thrived.

Traversing a serene fir forest, we’ll arrive at the Flabouri mountain hut, providing the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate, savor the awe-inspiring scenery, and refuel with a delicious snack. Continuing our journey, we’ll encounter the refreshing Kira freshwater spring, and as we descend through a lush green landscape along a narrow path, the beauty of Parnitha mountain will continue to enchant us.

Our hiking tour comes full circle as we return to Thrakomakedones and, from there, head back to the heart of Athens, leaving you with unforgettable memories of an extraordinary day in this natural paradise.

Great hike in the mountains near Athens! - I’m very satisfied with this trip! My guide, Dionysis, answered all of my questions prior to the trip, ensured that I had what I needed for the hike, was very friendly, and was very knowledgeable. The hike was tailored to my pace, and was a great way to get away from the city and experience nature while not taking very long to get there from the city center. I highly recommend the tour!

Great Experience - I recently had the pleasure of hiking in Parnitha and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Dionysis, our guide, was very pleasant and conversational through our hiking tour. He told us about the mountain and Athens in general. He picked us from our hotel in Athens and he returned us back.
