Expansive views, towering trees, and dramatic geology are just some of the astounding features of this tour in Atticas largest national park. Ancient Greeks believed that the cloven-hoof god Pan used to come here to play his flute and dance in the forest!

 

We start our journey by picking up from the main metro station. Sit back and relax the 40m driving to the mountains. Our hiking adventure begins with a gorgeous canyon. Be ready to jump over small rivers, scramble on rocks, bend under trees' branches or step on snow. You have to see to believe that a so rich forest exists so close to the city center! We make many stops for photos & refreshing. We'll recognize pines, black firs, wild berries, and local herbs among others. This period is quite possible to encounter snow, especially at the higher altitudes!

 

Our main stop will be at an alpine-style mountain shelter offering a big veranda with impressive 360o views, lounges with fireplaces and delicious traditional cuisine. After our main stop, we'll hike towards another peak.The landscape here changes, it's mainly rocky with small bushes where we occasionally spot red deers grazing!

 

We take the funicular, pose for our last photos, and return back to our base. The whole trek (~10km,+700m) has a moderate difficulty, crosses various terrains and draws an imperfect "D" on the map!
