Mt. Hymettus: Papagou-Asteriou monastery
Mt. Hymettus: Papagou
Papagou-Asteriou monastery
The route starts at the parking area of the Tennis Club of Papagou and initially descends to the open ravine south of the hill of the Tennis Club. After the ravine, it moves smoothly uphill an unclear ridge to cross the Attiki Odos Highway from the asphalted overpass. Follow two consecutive small roads for 930 m. and intersect the asphalt road from Papagou to Mt. Hymettus. The path becomes clearer and larger (occasionally used as MTB downhill trail) and passes next to the Asterios pothole and continues on easy terrain to the monastery. When visiting the Asterios monastery, it is important to have a guide indicating its remarkable architectural and hagiographic elements.
