Menu & tasting

Escape the hustle and bustle of Athens and immerse yourself in a rejuvenating day of hiking in the stunning Parnitha mountain, the tallest and most important mountain in the Attica region. Just an hour away from the city, we begin our adventure in the heart of the Parnitha National Park, a natural paradise rich in wildlife, including the majestic red deer that call the mountain home. The mountain’s diverse ecosystem is a protected area and offers panoramic vistas of the Attica region, including the majestic Immitos and Penteli mountains. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the sparkling Saronic Gulf, where Athens, Piraeus, and Sounio once flourished. Traversing a serene fir forest, we’ll pause for a restful break at a peaceful spot, giving us time to relax and recharge before tackling the main ascent of the day. As we continue, we’ll encounter the Skipiza watchtower, a vantage point offering breathtaking panoramic views that include the Saronic Gulf, Evia Island, and the rest of central Greece. Our hiking tour comes full circle leaving you with unforgettable memories of an extraordinary day spent in this natural paradise.
