Hiking on Mt Parnitha

Parnitha topoguide: A hike for the whole family near Bafi mountain hut

Mt Parnitha offers the richest hiking network from all the mountains of Attica. Every weekend, dozens of hikers run the popular routes on the southern side, while more experienced mountaineers are still exploring the relatively more unknown areas of Northern Parnitha.

Much of the mountain trails were way marked based on a color key. Part of this network has lost its beauty - and often the markings - during the recent wild fires, but the systematic use of paths keeps them open and clear.

Ideal for a day trip or for a longer break, Mt Parnitha offers two guarded mountain refuges, the Bafi shelter and the Flambouri shelter.

The most popular hiking route is along Chouni ravine, the direct trail from Thrakomakedones to the Bafi shelter. Many of the trips can be served by the Parnitha casino cable car.
