Mount Parnitha with a network of well-marked trails and Mount Ymittos, with steep inclines and downhill routes, can provide both easy and challenging paths into National Parks, deep forests and wild nature, cycling past ancient temple ruins, Byzantine monasteries, and caves.
Sounio National Park is another mountain bike destination which explores the ancient silver mines of the area. The best season for mountain bike lovers to practice the sport is from April until the end of October when most of the guided tours take place.
