아테네‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 천연기념물

You can go here from several places: from the monastery of Kessariani, from the monastery of Saint John Kynegos, from Papagos and from Paiania.

Very interesting. Arrive early as it gets very crowded in the afternoon on weekends.

Mount Immitos is one of the best places near Athens for hiking.

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.

There are several hiking trails leading to this peak. In spring and summer it can get very hot as there are few trees to provide shade. The terrain is very rocky and steep in places. Good footwear and surefootedness are recommended. The view of Athens and the surrounding area is fantastic.

Ymittos is a mountain of Attica. It is located on the eastern side of the Athens basin. It rises between the basin of Attica and the Mediterranean in a direction from N. to S. from the passage of Agios Ioannou to Kynigos ending above Voula and Vari. With a length of 23 kilometers and with its width varying from 4 to 6 kilometers it covers an area of 80,000 hectares. It has suffered devastating fires but continues to have green areas from continuous tree planting. From a geological point of view, Hymettos belongs to the Attic Cycladic zone. Its rocks contain limestones, shales, and large masses of marble and mica schists.

From the hill you have very beautiful views of the Acropolis and the surrounding city.
