Athens tips for explorers and outdoorsy types?

[acamp7]

What are some of the best places to visit in Athens for outdoorsy types? My girlfriends is a rock climber and she loves to explore, but I don’t know too much about Athens besides visiting historical sites.

There are many great outdoor activities to consider when visiting Athens (other than visiting historical landmarks, which I would highly recommend!).

Things that come to mind would be Athens Bike Tour, Shopping (yes you can be outdoors) and of course go the the beach!!

I'm from Athens and one of my favorite things to do is climb areopagus hill or vrahakia. It's kind of hard to get to, especially in the dark (the best view in the nighttime). If you know any other people going, or locals I would recommend they lead the way.
