THE PLACES THAT TELL ACHARNES
Worth seeing, worth remembering.
Nestled in the forests on the slopes of Parnitha, the estate preserves buildings, gardens, and traces tied to the history of the Greek royal family. The vast park invites visitors to explore its shaded avenues at a leisurely pace.
In the woodland of the Tatoi estate lies the royal cemetery, the burial place of several members of the Greek royal family. The quiet, tree-lined setting adds an intimate dimension to a visit to the complex.
St. Blaise Church is one of the religious and civic landmarks in the center of Acharnes. It is worth getting close to admire the facade and catch a glimpse of the atmosphere of local daily life.
The national park protects a vast mountain landscape of forests, gorges, and trails, with spectacular views over Attica. It is a popular destination for hikes and walks, especially on clear days.
Located among the forests of Parnitha, Bafi Refuge is a favorite base for hikers and a resting point before or after mountain trails. Its elevated location offers a cool atmosphere and wide-open views over the region.

BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Acharnes is located in the Athens metropolitan area, but the distances between the town center, the stations, and the attractions nearby can be considerable. Buses connect the area with Athens and the surrounding neighborhoods: check updated timetables and routes, as frequencies can vary. The Acharnes railway station (SKA) is useful for some suburban journeys, but assess in advance how far it is from your destination. To explore the slopes of Parnitha or less well-served areas, a rental car or a taxi may be more practical.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit Acharnes and stroll around the area, with generally mild temperatures. Summer can be very hot, especially during the middle of the day: plan outdoor activities for the morning or late evening and bring water. Winter is cooler and can be rainy; in the mountains, conditions may differ from the city.
Where to eat
For a casual meal, look for tavernas and grill houses in the center, where you can find home-style Greek dishes, grilled meat, salads, and mezedes to share. The squares and shopping streets are also good places to stop for a coffee or a pastry. To choose well, see where the locals eat and check opening days and hours in advance, as they may vary.
Quick tips
- 01Check public transport connections before you set off and allow extra time for any waiting.
- 02In summer, bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, especially if you plan excursions to Parnitha.
- 03If you reach a taverna during peak hours, booking ahead can be a good idea.
- 04For excursions, check the weather, trail accessibility, and local conditions before you set off.
