Why we love it?

This 2.5-hour guided hike takes you to Athens’ two most scenic hills, starting with the highest peak at 277 meters, where you can pause to enjoy panoramic 360-degree views of the city. The route winds through the National Garden, a green oasis amid the urban landscape, before passing a notable 19th-century building linked to the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Along the way, you’ll see the remains of the once-largest temple in Greece and an iconic Roman-era landmark. The tour concludes on a quieter hill that offers striking views of the Acropolis and the Aegean Sea, providing a fitting finale to this off-the-beaten-track adventure suited for travelers who enjoy active exploration combined with historical and natural sights.
