“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.

The ascent to the top of Mount Parnitha is a special experience for anyone who enjoys travelling on two wheels. The road winds its way up the mountain with a gentle, steady incline - not too steep, but challenging enough to keep your muscles moving. The asphalt is in good condition, which makes the ride pleasant as the landscape opens up around you. On your way up, you will be accompanied by the rough beauty of the rocks and the sparse vegetation. The isolated, wind-shaped trees that decorate the mountainside are particularly striking - they tell of the harsh climate up here. The curves keep offering new perspectives on the surrounding landscape and invite you to stop for a short while to enjoy the view. Once you reach the summit, not only a magnificent view awaits you, but also the old, abandoned sanatorium, which exudes a mysterious atmosphere. It is worth stopping for a moment and taking in the peace and quiet before you start the descent. This section is located in the protected natural park Δρυμός Πάρνηθας – so please pay attention to the applicable regulations and respect nature.
