Abstract: Abstract Hiking is a physical activity aimed at recreation and improvement of the physical condition. As a general rule, this activity is carried out during holidays. However, hiking is often the main motivation for making the trip. Carrying out hiking as a leisure activity requires not only the existence of suitable hiking trails and supporting infrastructure, but also the establishment of the appropriate institutional framework. In this study, the institutional framework of hiking as an outdoor leisure activity, the institutional framework of supporting infrastructure as well as recent institutional arrangements in Greece are analyzed over time.
