Tatoi Estate for families and groups
All-weather lavrio
A friendly square, fresh fish, and a well-searched destination for all seasons of the year. Even in winter. Lavrio is an ideal destination for an excursion through Attica that many choose steadily. The area stands out for its neoclassical buildings, but you quickly realize that it is a genuine mining area. The ideal stop for coffee is Lavrio Square. Big, clean, and well-groomed. Access from Athens is easy and quick. When you find it, you get <stuck> and you visit it all the time.

The Sunday stroll in Penteli is an all-time classic choice. You’ll take your walks, explore the trails, and hang out on a bench to see the view. And then you’ll end up in the squares of Nea or Old Penteli for coffee and food. Penteli is very close, even from the center of Athens, since you need about half an hour to get there. If you combine your excursion with a walk to the Observatory, then it is not just a one-day trip to Attica but a new, special experience.
Sunday at Marathon Lake
Put on your sneakers or even take your bike. You will spend a classically beautiful Sunday following the paths on the shores of the lake to enjoy its grandeur from the perspective that few people have in mind. The Sunday walk in Marathon, for the most part, is combined with coffee in the rightly famous Fragma. If you see it sunny and at noon, then the view of the still waters of the lake from its amphitheatrical views is a delight. Having many options and good food, it’s hard to leave Marathon before the sun goes <down>. And you’re not wrong.
Parnitha, the famous in Attica

Many would confidently use the word Sunday next to the word Parnitha. This unique fir forest of Attica is one of the best reasons to spend the last or the first day of the week. Hiking enthusiasts love Parnitha and its routes. That is why the two shelters it has (Buffy and Flambouri) are so famous. If you still like something more relaxed, finally, the cable car ride will give you a nice experience. On the plus side of Parnitha is that it is an ideal destination for all seasons of the year. For couples, friends, or families. For everyone has a different experience to offer.
