Escape the hustle and bustle of Athens and immerse yourself in a rejuvenating day of hiking in the stunning Parnitha mountain, the tallest and most important mountain in the Attica region. Just an hour away from the city, we begin our adventure in the heart of the Parnitha National Park, a natural paradise rich in wildlife, including the majestic red deer that call the mountain home. The mountain’s diverse ecosystem is a protected area and offers panoramic vistas of the Attica region, including the majestic Immitos and Penteli mountains.
