Schinias National Park Hike & Sea Swim
A summer hiking experience near Athens, where the pine forest of Schinias meets the sea.
On Saturday, June 13th, we invite you to join us for a special hike in Schinias National Park, one of the most important protected natural areas in Attica. While most visitors know Schinias for its famous beach, few have explored the beautiful trails that wind through its unique coastal pine forest.
We will follow an easy circular route of approximately 7 km, walking through shaded sections surrounded by umbrella pines and Mediterranean vegetation that make this landscape truly unique. This experience is ideal for those looking for an easy hike near Athens, combining nature, beautiful scenery and a relaxed summer atmosphere.
After completing the hike, the experience continues at the sandy Schinias Beach, where we will enjoy a refreshing swim together. Those who wish may stay with the group for a relaxed seaside picnic, bringing something small to share and enjoying the summer atmosphere by the sea.
This activity is suitable for beginners, families with children aged 7 and above, and anyone who wishes to discover a different side of Schinias through an organized outdoor experience. Four-legged friends are also welcome, provided they are socialized and basic group safety rules are followed.
