Itinerary description
This is an easy to moderate route for a 4x4 but impossible to follow it by regular car.
The path has been widened in recent years for the firefighter trucks (due to recent wildfires). Thus, driving is safer today compared to the past.
It is only accessible during cold months (usually November to April), and only from Sunrise to Sunset.
Driving on the mountain during warm months or during the night is illegal.
Views are rewarding.
Bear in mind that the last part of the route is tarmacked.

One of the Antenna Stations close to the summit. I would avoid staying long around these for the sake of my health 😊

Another Antenna station. To reach this, you need to drive 100m in dirt road. You get some good views from there.

It usually shows once or twice a year in Athens. Take the opportunity to visit the mountain in these days.

One of the best trails in Athens, a bit rocky, definitely worth the views. Highly recommend! 4x4 only.
Want to go there now. Jeep compass will be ok?
Yes, it will be no problem for a Jeep Compass.
Ensure you do it prior to May; as soon as it gets warm enough the authorities do not allow entrance due to risk of fire.
Also, presence on the mountain is only allowed from dusk till dawn by law.
