Thanks for your comments on 'Athene(Oosten)'
In the United States and United Kingdom, hiking refers to WALKING OUTDOORS for RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of WALKING in natural environments, often in mountainous or other scenic terrain.(isn't ATHENS A BEAUTIFUL CITY?)
The word hiking is understood in all English-speaking countries, but there are also differences in usage.
In fact our visit trough Athens was an excursion, a trip made for leisure, education and physical purposes. Such selection is not possible in Wikiloc.
