Overview
Join me on a scenic forest hike along the rocky trails of Mount Hymettus, with breathtaking views of Athens!
I won’t bore you with all the history and legends of Greece. Instead, I’ll share the most interesting things I discovered in Athens as a foreigner myself. I’ll show you my favorite spots and lead you along my favorite trails, where we’ll see the local herbs and plants along the way.
During the hike, we’ll explore ancient ruins, take stunning photos, and visit the mysterious Dragon House, a small dry-stone structure built with massive stone blocks without cement. Afterward, we’ll relax at the local refreshment spot, Kalopoula, before heading back to our starting point.
This experience is perfect for small groups of up to 6 people, at a comfortable pace. Book your spot now and enjoy a personal, unforgettable day in nature with a local foreign guide.
Distance: 7 km
Duration: 4 hours
Elevation: 400 m
The route includes a few climbs and short challenging sections, suitable for casual hikers or people with some hiking experience.
We go in a small group of 1–6 people, at a comfortable pace.
Don’t miss this unique adventure!
