Athens may not be famous for its nature, however you can discover it if you know where to look for it. Let’s explore the most beautiful autumn landscapes in Athens, for dreamy autumn walks in the Greek capital.

Philopappos Hill

Dusty paths among tall trees end up to the top of the most beautiful hill of Athens, from where you can enjoy the most impressive view of Acroopolis. The ancient history is alive with every step you take, while the city views are truly breakthtaking. If Athenians visited Philopappos Hill more often, they wouldn’t complain so much about their city.

At the paths of Parnitha

Parnitha Mountain is the most popular version of the Athenian countryside. Here, you can enjoy nice hiking and bike routes, for the most active of you, the lovers of history can also take historic explorations, while parents can visit the mini zoo at Beletsi lake. From the highlights, do not miss the old Tatoi palaces, the lake of Beletsi, as well as Mpafi and Flampouri shelter.

At the paths of Imittos

Even closer for the residents of the city center, the mountain of Ymittos is equally idyllic and offers a variety of unexplored routes and an exquisite network of dusty paths, under the shadow of lush forests and impressive view to the chaos of Athens.

Penteli

Every summer we mention Penteli’s waterfalls, while during autumn it still remains the perfect scenery for a picnic on sunny autumn afternoons.  Also, do not miss Davelis’ mysterious and legendary cave, the Observatory and the best meat in Athens at the local restaurant.
