Αισθητικό Δάσος Υμηττούのおすすめランニングルート

美しい中間停止地点で、特に春には花がいっぱいです

The path there is technically easy but relatively steep. Orientation isn't easy, as several paths lead there, and they aren't well signposted. I first followed the red and then the yellow markings. The monastery itself is very beautiful. I was there on a Sunday and found the gates locked. Only a guard dog barked.

An excellent hiking place

This little-trodden path leads through the countryside. That's fun!

Tower of Anthussa The history of the tower is not known. There is no information about when it was built. Certainly, it was not Byzantine and rather not Frankish. The construction style appears to belong to the Ottoman period. This theory is supported by its name: “Kula”, which is of Turkish origin meaning tower (although the use of this name is not always combined with Ottoman towers). It was probably one of the numerous Turkish Kules built by the Turks until the 18th century throughout Greece either to supervise their estates or as agha mansions or to serve military purposes. The tower is reported being in ruins already in 1722. https://www.kastra.eu/castleen.php?kastro=anthusattic
