It was the best hike ever due to Natalia from Hellas Tracking. She took us on a walk through times in Athens and to the top of the Lycabettus mountain, where we had the most spectacular view of Athens (Read More) and Akropolis. Natalia was great company, had great energy and she made our day fantastic 😊
