Jeep Safari in Parnitha Park
Escape to Parnitha National Park with a safari for 6 or 8 people per vehicle. Mount Parnitha is a densely populated mountain range 40 km north of Athens. It is an ideal place for residents or …
visitors to Athens, as it offers the opportunity to enjoy nature and relax leaving behind the stress of the city.
The Parnitha National Park is full of pine forest and fir trees. It is a true oasis for many species of wildlife such as deer, foxes and many species of birds, as well as the main escape for hot summer days and a huge playground covered in snow in winter.
Our day starts after we pick you up from your hotel or from a point near the listed hotel if access by car is not possible. We will follow the national road leading to Mount Parnitha and have our morning coffee, tea or juice on the way. It will take less than an hour’s drive to leave the noisy centre of Athens and enter the entrance to the mountains.
Our first stop will take place at an altitude of 600 m, At Lake Beletsi, an artificial lake that seems to belong to a fairy tale. The scenery resembles the Alps and does not at all resemble Athens, Greece.
Continuing our route to Mount Parnitha we follow a unique off-road route through the forest full of pine trees, goats, chapels, monasteries and natural springs. After our little adventure, we will approach the village of Vlona. Passing the village and heading forward, the mountain adventure begins again via an off-road road to the Voutima wildlife refuge. The uniqueness of the terrain, dense vegetation, rare species of endemic plants, different species of mammals and bird species are scattered in smaller or larger areas of the mountain. Reaching the western slope of Mount Parnitha, a breathtaking panoramic view of the Saronic Gulf with the islands of Salamina and Aegina will appear before our eyes.
We then head to the paved road and walk away with a panoramic view of the Saronic Gulf from above. As our appetite builds we arrive at the village of Hasia. There we will visit a traditional Greek tavern where we will be welcomed by the owner. He will introduce us to Greek Mediterranean cuisine and warm Greek hospitality with plenty of local food and wine. After our lunch break, we will make our way back to Athens through picturesque villages before arriving in Athens.
Our premium off road vehicle drivers will create an unforgettable day with the best panoramic views of the Parnitha Mountains and amazing photo opportunities at every moment! A unique escape, an exciting adventure to embrace the famous Greek hospitality,enjoy the sights and professional but relaxed service!
