Route description:
We will follow one of the most popular trails in Parnitha. At the start, we’ll hike 5 km uphill along a forest path through the gorge between the casino and Flambouri shelter, reaching 1100 meters. The trail partly crosses open rocky sections with views of the city and bay, so it will be warm in the sun. Later, we’ll enter a pine forest and walk in the cool shade with small ascents and descents. Then, we’ll take an easy path to Bafi Shelter for a snack and rest. After that, we return to the cable car for the descent.
If the weather is bad and the cable car is closed, we will add an extra 3.5 km hike down to the parking lot.
This activity includes:
- Cable Car Station Regency Casinos
- Flambouri Refuge of Acharnes Greek Climbing Club
