View of Athens from Mount Karakovouni Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

Best in spring or autumn. After a rain shower, the air is clear and the view of Athens is enchanting. Just take the path uphill from the monastery's botanical garden and follow the yellow markings.

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.
