Αισθητικό Δάσος Υμηττούのおすすめツーリングルート

美しい中間停止地点で、特に春には花がいっぱいです

Certainly the most atmospheric and impressive old monastery on the Attica peninsula, a visit to which can be combined with a beautiful hike.

A beautiful little monastery on the edge of the Kaisariani Forest. Not always open to visitors. Please note the opening hours.

“All dogs go to heaven” Loukanikos - meaning "Sausage" - was ginger mongrel which became a Greek folk hero during anti-austerity riots in 2011 and sadly died aged 10 in October 2014. Loukanikos used to charge and yelp alongside protesters when they confronted police and were tear-gassed in the streets of Athens. A leftist newspaper, Avgi, says the dog has been buried in the shade of a tree on a hill in the city centre. Loukanikos was a stray but a protester took him in and looked after him. The dog was originally called Theodor. In 2011 Time magazine listed Loukanikos as one of its personalities of the year.

Its a Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, which was used by the Hellenic Air force until 1983.

A must climb for training

Yes you can drink from there...

A wonderful place on the outskirts of Athens. A good starting or finishing point for a circular hike on the paths around the monastery and towards the peaks. Parking is limited, however. Another alternative is the car park further up the road at the fire brigade observation tower.
