아티카 주변 최고의 버스 정류장 출발 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

The Temple of Nike is the smallest building on the Acropolis of Athens. The temple, the first Ionic building on the Acropolis, is made entirely of Pentelic marble and is dedicated to Nike.

Very interesting. Arrive early as it gets very crowded in the afternoon on weekends.

Mount Immitos is one of the best places near Athens for hiking.

Beautiful view of Athens and Attica from Mount Karakovouni.

One of the few remaining intact forests in Parnitha National Park. The nature here is enchanting. In November, when I was there, it was very quiet and pleasant to hike. The path with the red markings leads to the Bafi hut.

A wonderful place on the outskirts of Athens. A good starting or finishing point for a circular hike on the paths around the monastery and towards the peaks. Parking is limited, however. Another alternative is the car park further up the road at the fire brigade observation tower.

Best in spring or autumn. After a rain shower, the air is clear and the view of Athens is enchanting. Just take the path uphill from the monastery's botanical garden and follow the yellow markings.

The Propylaea - the monumental entrance to the Acropolis - impresses at first glance with its mighty marble columns. As I hiked up the steep path to the Acropolis, this gate was something of a small reward after the climb. This is where access to the heart of ancient Athens is opened, and walking through the gate gives you the feeling of immersing yourself in history. The gate was never fully completed, but the dimensions and arrangement of the columns alone give an idea of how magnificent it should have once been. From here you can already get an initial overview of what awaits you on the Acropolis - the Parthenon and the other buildings rise majestically in the background. A little tip: try to come early in the day or late in the afternoon when the crowds of visitors subside. And don't forget to stop and enjoy the view over Athens. The perspective of the modern city from the gate is quite impressive - the connection between ancient architecture and today's urban landscape is particularly noticeable here. Apart from the architecture, it is also worth taking a closer look at the history of the Propylaea. During the work, the Peloponnesian War broke out and the construction was never completed. Nevertheless, this entrance remains an important part of Athens' heritage.
