Mt. Hymettus: Papagou

An athletic loop along Korakovouni

The trail on the western slopes of Korakovouni uses quiet roads to bridge three very interesting - and rather unusual - paths and compose a cycle.

The trail starts from the junction above the Cemetery of Papagou and follows the asphalt for 600 m. We enter a well used footpath passing beside the Asteriou pothole and comes to a small dirt road. We continue right opposite on a very good path (marked with the number 5) and reach the old tower of Greek Telecom, just on the edge of the fence (touching the trail of the Route 10 but not following it). From here we will descend sharply, diagonally crossing the sullen western slope of the peak Korakovouni. The path is clear, but steep in places, and has sporadically Blue Dots. At least we reach the dirt road that runs along the base of all this slope with which we return to our starting point.
