Hiking Hymettus from Kaisariani

The Kaisariani aesthetic forest on the western flank of Hymettus is the easiest hill walk reachable from the city centre: bus 224 from Syntagma or Evangelismos runs to the end of the line at Kaisariani, and trails climb from there through pine and cypress. The 11th-century Kaisariani Monastery is a ticketed Byzantine site at the trailhead, with the 5th-century basilica of Agios Markos and the Taxiarches chapel further up. Routes range from a 20-minute botanical loop to walks of two hours or more.
