Description

The experience begins in the afternoon and finishes during golden hour with panoramic views over Athens and the sea.

This 2 and a half hours experience follows scenic trails through ancient marble quarries, peaceful forest paths, and three small hidden chapels tucked between the rocks of the mountain: Agios Nikitas, Agios Loukas, and Profitis Ilias. Along the way, we visit the historic Penteli quarries — the source of the marble used to build the Acropolis — and enjoy panoramic sea views from one of the mountain’s most beautiful viewpoints.

A relaxed local hiking experience perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers looking for something authentic beyond the usual tourist routes.

Nature around Athens

If you want to see another side of athens outside the city you have to do this tour. Christos is a nature loving person and has a huge knowledge of this area. A very interesting person to chat with while having a beautiful view over the area and the sea. Especially when the sun is going down. Definitely can recommend it!

What a nice hiking ! I was alone for the tour and Christos did not cancel. I would have never seen that side of Αττική without him. If you are tired of the city and if you want something a bit off the beaten path with nature, breathtaking views, small hidden churches, exercising, hearing only the sound of cicadas and your conversation... this tour is definitely for you. Christos is attentive to your needs, very relaxed and friendly. He'll give you plenty of recommendations for your trip in Greece. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!

perfect escape from the city

Christos took us up Penteli mountain. The pace was really good, the views were fantastic. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the mountain. The path required intermediate fitness and good shoes. Great experience

A Side of Athens I Never Knew

I’m Greek but live abroad, and while visiting Athens I joined this hike with Christos. It was a wonderful experience! The ancient marble quarries were fascinating, the sea views were breathtaking, and the small chapels hidden among the rocks were beautiful. Everything was well organized and I discovered a side of Athens I had never seen before. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
