Just a stone&#8217;s throw from the center of Athens.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Parnitha, a diamond of nature<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The mountain of Parnitha is located in a unique beauty , 30 km northwest of <a href=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/en\/tag\/athens-en-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Athens<\/strong><\/a>. In this huge pine-covered National Park spanning more than 300 square kilometers live about 30 species of mammals and 120 species of birds. There are about 800 different species of herbs and plants. <strong>To understand the size of the wealth of the region it is sufficient to know that the species of plants cover 17% of the flora of the country.<\/strong> Walking the various paths you will discover for yourself the beauty of the area and the spectacle that offers. Nature lovers have Parnitha on their list of favorite places.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are you going to do when you get there?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing that comes to the mind of someone who knows Parnitha well, is hiking. <strong>The mountain has hundreds of paths for exploration as well as small caves.<\/strong> A well-known route is to the Buffy-Skipiza shelter. It is an impressive route to the dense thic pineforest and has very good signalling and it is circular. Its total length is 8 kilometers and you&#8217;ll need about 3 hours to make it. It is also of moderate difficulty, and perhaps the nicer route of Central Parnitha. From the firehouse of Skipiza, the view is fantastic. <strong>If you now like mountain biking there are also marked routes.<\/strong> In Parnitha there are also several churches and monasteries for visit.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha.jpg.webp 750w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10845 size-full aligncenter webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha.jpg 750w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mola_grass_Parnitha-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<h3><strong>For the foodies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can&#8217;t go on a good food trip. And Parnitha offers this to its many taverns. A very good choice is the pirounakia. Take a chicken skewer and you&#8217;ll remember us.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to get to Parnitha<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Get in the car and follow the highway to Lamia. Turn left at the exit marked Parnitha. It is a very scenic route that leads you to the top. You have to remember that the road has several turns. If you can&#8217;t stand them, you better leave the car at the foot of the mountain and take the cable car.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/el.wikipedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>wikipedia.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/en\/?p=24096#.XhrjZRczYVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Attica | Buffy&#8217;s Refuge in Parnitha<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes Parnitha stand out is, that everyone will find a way to have a good time there.
