Last time I was in Athens, someone mentioned that locals enjoy hiking and walking, but I never got the chance to experience it myself. I always thought of Athens as more of an urban city, but now I’m curious—are there any good trails within the city or nearby that I can try on my next trip?
I’ve heard about Mount Lycabettus for great city views and Philopappos Hill for a scenic walk near the Acropolis, but are there other lesser-known spots? Maybe something a bit more nature-focused?
Also, are there any trails just outside the city that are worth a short trip? I love historical sites, so if there’s a hike that combines nature with ruins or ancient landmarks, that would be amazing!
Would love to hear any recommendations—whether it’s an easy walk or a real hike.
