Athens is situated in the basin of four mountain, Mount Aegaleo to the
west, Mount Parnitha to the north, Mount Penteli to the northeast and
Mount Hymettus to the east. Hymettus stands at around 1.000m high and
its a nice, beautiful and easy bike ride to the top.
On the way we passed by Kaisariani Monastery which dates back from the
Byzantine times, constructed around A.D.1100, now in its restored form.
Monastery grounds were full of curious cats :)
Around halfway to the top found these funny birds which were quite bored to fly (!) but were going around walking :D
Another monastery from the 11th century A.D. named "Monastery of
Taxiarches Asterion" is found at 545 meters, more than halfway to the
top, a nice place for rest.
Almost to the top and we could see the radio antennas.
The view of Athens from the top was really great, had some rest and then headed back down as the rain was on its way... :)
