Trails starting from Ilioupolis

The recreation area of Prophitis Ilias Ilioupolis (parking lot) is a little known yet very convenient starting point for the exploration of Hymettus. The location give access to the entire network of hiking routes of central and southern Hymettos.

From the bus terminus (upper end point of Venizelos avenue) one can enter the network of dirt roads of central Hymettus and make pleasant walks towards the Karea monastery, Astynomika suburb and Argyroupolis.

At last, the rocky terrain of these slopes challenges the naturalist to wander in search of the very interesting flora species, across a dramatic landscape of ridges and steep ravines.

The richness of the trails starting from Ilioupolis is reflected in the following table.
