If you are tired of the city fuss then you should visit the cave. While driving on the slopes of Penteli, the view is stunning. Makes sense if you think that you are on the edge of the Attica basin. Apart from the panoramic view, the cave itself is a very special sight to explore, if you are an adventurous ad fearless person!

It's a great way to escape Athens, jut a few steps out of the city. You can organize day trips or weekend excursions with your friends. Contact the local shelters in order to book a bed and spend the night over. The palpable emptiness feeling inside the pine forests will take all your stress away.
