Anavasi Topo 25 Map 1.5, Kitherón, Patéras, Geránia 1:25.000

The mountains of Western Attica, Kitheron, Pateras and Gerania are blessed places where one can still experience the nature of Attica, where resin-smelling pines, millenial olive-trees and ancient stones -either natural or man carved- coexist in timeless serenity. Here, a short distance from the capital, you will be revitalized, by the open space and the amazing vistas, by the pure simplicity of a small chapel among the pine trees, or by the harmony of ancient ruins among the olive trees and phrygana. Every time I look at the wonderful pine forests of Mt Gerania, I wonder how they have escaped from man’s destructive hand. Embrace, love these mountains and they will give it back generously.
