Mountain Biking on Mount Parnitha
Mountain bike enthusiasts who take on the untamed terrain of Mount Parnitha will be richly rewarded by this natural playground that’s just one hour from downtown Athens.

Parnitha, one of three mountains that surround the Athenian basin, is by far the wildest. While the other two—Hymettus and Penteli—also have forested parts, you rarely feel as if you have really left the city. Parnitha, on the other hand, is a proper wilderness, a true “mountain’s mountain”.
