Day 1 – Rematia, aqueduct and the center of Chalandri

10:00–21:00 Easy walks

Discover Chalandri’s green spaces and historical traces, then enjoy the town center and its food scene.

10:00

Arrival at Rematia

Reach the area by metro, getting off at Chalandri station on Line 3, then continue on foot or with a short bus ride to the park; allow about 15–25 minutes in total from the station. Spend the first part of the morning getting your bearings among the paths, vegetation, and views of the waterway, checking the condition of the trails on site.

Bring comfortable shoes: some sections may be uneven.

10:45

Walk in Rematia Chalandriou

Explore the green corridor of Rematia with a relaxed walk of about 45 minutes, paying attention to the crossings and any inaccessible areas. It’s a pleasant break from urban traffic and offers different views depending on the season. Access to the park is generally free.

11:40

Traces of Hadrian's Aqueduct

Take a stop to see the remains of the aqueduct attributed to the Roman era, part of a historic system that crossed the Athens area. Observe the visible remains or stretches from the public path, without expecting a museum or a properly equipped exhibition area; the visit is free and depends on how visible the remains are on site.

Signage may be limited: use a map to locate the spot and do not cross any fences.

12:30

Open-Air Rematia Theatre

Make your way to the municipal open-air theatre, set within the Rematia landscape, and take in the layout of the seating tiers and the relationship with the natural surroundings. Outside performance times, the visit may be limited to the outdoor areas, and access inside is not always guaranteed. For a show, ticket prices vary depending on the program and may cost around €10–25.

13:30

Lunch in central Chalandri

Head to the center with a walk of about 15–20 minutes or a short taxi ride, and choose a taverna or café along the shopping streets. For a simple meal with a main dish and a drink, budget around €12–20 per person; sharing mezedes lets you sample more specialties. Booking ahead is useful on weekends.

15:30

Church of Saint Nicholas

Stop by the Church of Saint Nicholas, the neighborhood’s religious landmark, and appreciate its architecture and icons if it is open to the public. Dress respectfully and keep in mind that opening hours may vary depending on services. The visit normally does not require a ticket.

16:15

Eleftheriou Venizelou Square and a stroll through the center

Head to Plateia Eleftheriou Venizelou and take time to observe neighborhood life among cafés, shops, and outdoor tables. Continue unhurriedly through the central streets: a Greek coffee or a cold drink usually costs around €3–6. The square is a good base for a break before the evening.

19:00

Dinner among the downtown streets

End the day in a taverna or restaurant in the center, choosing Greek dishes to share or a more casual dinner. Budget around €18–30 per person, depending on drinks and dishes; for dessert or a stop at a pastry shop, add about €3–7. Return to Chalandri metro on foot or by a short taxi ride, depending on the location of the venue.

Practical tips

  • Check the metro and bus schedules before you set off; from Chalandri station the park may require an additional walk.
  • In summer, bring water, a hat, and sunscreen: the Rematia trails do not offer consistent shade.
  • Check in advance whether the church is open and the theater schedule, as both can depend on services and events.
  • For lunch and dinner on weekends, choose a restaurant and book ahead: central Chalandri is also popular with locals.
