Mount Parnitha
Parnitha (or Parnis) is located only 10 km away from the city center of Athens and offers an excellent escape into the wild outdoors. Ideal for hiking aficionados, nature lovers – the Parnitha flora is one of the richest in all of Greece – and, perhaps surprisingly, gambling fanatics, the area attracts many visitors.

If you want to make an overnight stay, stay at the Parnis Palace Hotel, at the foot of the mountain, or if you prefer something more secluded, head instead to the Mpafi refuge. The site offers many hiking trails within the national park. Escaping in Parnitha is an incredible way of reconnecting with nature and recharging your batteries.
