5.00Our hike was a great experience, thanks to our guide Constantino. He was such a great guide—highly educated, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about hiking. He even shared that he has hiked in the Himalayas, which added to the experience. He knows a lot about Greek history and shared many interesting facts, along with engaging conversations on a variety of topics. The hike itself was amazing—beautiful nature, perfect weather, and stunning trees all along the way. He also stopped at different points to explain various plants and details about the surroundings, which made it even more special. I would definitely give him 5 stars and highly recommend him!

5.00We had an amazing time. The views were fantastic . It is an easy to moderate hike with wonderful views of the mountain, city, sea and the grand finale of the sunset. I highly recommend this activity when visiting Athens. Our guide Kostantinos was very polite, knowledgeable and gave us great information about the area ancient and modern history, the native plants and guided us to best photo spots along the hike. He cared to make sure we are safe, provided hiking sticks and hiking advice. He made us feel like family, and I truly felt like I was hiking with my son.

5.00We had a Sunset hike in Athens with Dimitris, and I must say that this is one of our most memorable experiences in Athens. The hike started at 18:30, and we had in total 5.3 km hike. Some paths are a bit elevated, so non-slippery shows are advisable, but the hike was easy, safe and in a moderate pace. We enjoyed the nature and Dimitris' stories about Greece, Athens and his experiences with active holidays in the nature. On the way, we have spotted a turtle, a nice bird and even a fox. And we reached the view point for the sunset watching just in time. And it was unforgettable! Thank you Dimitris for this hike and your inspiration!
Loved this hike!

5.00Our extended family of 10 loved this hike! It was a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of Athens. The views and sunset were beautiful and we learned a lot about the native plants. The guides were super friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!
Amazing!

5.00Our guide, Konstantinos, communicated with me a day ahead to confirm time and specific info for pick up. He was right on time. It was nice to take the short car ride and get out of the city for the evening. The hike was not difficult and Konstantinos stopped multiple times to point out different plants along the way and told us some history as well. He also took pictures of us at different locations which was very nice since we rarely get pictures with the whole family. The sunset was absolutely beautiful! The hike after the sunset to get back to the car was short and there was plenty of light left. Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend it!

Unforgettable Sunset Hiking with Nomadspath Adventures

5.00Looking for a break from the city vibes, we set out to discover the natural beauty surrounding Athens. Luckily, we stumbled upon Nomadspath Adventures! These guys were the friendliest tour guides you could ever hope to meet. They were like instant friends with their warm and welcoming vibe. We decided to join their small group sunset hike on Hymettus mountain. And it was absolute blast. Along the way, we chatted and laughed, soaking in the breathtaking views and learning so much from our guide, Michael, who enlightened us about the area's flora, geological wonders, historical significance, and even introduced us to Greek language and cuisine. It was such a lovely evening, and the perfect way to wrap up our one-week adventure in Greece. We can't recommend Nomadspath Adventures enough! They made our trip truly memorable.
