Description

Begin with a tranquil run through the heart of Athens 🏃‍♂️. This route marries the city's serene beauty with nature, offering a peaceful experience away from the hustle and bustle. Run from the Great Metropolis through Thiseio, over Filopappou Hill, to Koukaki, and discover Athens at its most peaceful 🌆➡️🌿. Your run starts in the still-sleeping Great Metropolis, where you can admire the historical architecture without the usual crowds. The quiet of these early hours makes your passage through the city feel particularly magical ✨. Thiseio welcomes you with its empty streets and the breathtaking view of the Acropolis shining in the morning sun ☀️🏛. Continue to Filopappou Hill, a green sanctuary perfect for a moment of reflection or simply to enjoy the quiet 🌳. The view from up here over the waking city is unparalleled 🌄. The final stretch of your run takes you through Koukaki, a neighborhood slowly coming to life, whose tranquil streets invite you to conclude your morning jog 🏡🌤. This run offers you a unique opportunity to experience Athens' quiet moments and refresh yourself through movement. An ideal start to Sunday, invigorating both body and mind 🧘‍♂️💪.
