Up High on Hymettus
Discover our mountain
Join our annual ascent program on Mount Hymettus, designed for all ages and fitness levels. From easy, short routes to more demanding ascents, you'll explore the mountain safely while gradually building the skills and confidence to go on your own. If you are (or become) a member, all Hymettus ascents are free!
The program also has a reciprocal element: young people (18–20), students, unemployed participants and retirees can be trained and take on volunteer leader roles. In return, they receive the fee from the first participants of each ascent.

How to use the map
- Once opened, you'll always find it under Google Maps → Saved → My Maps(requires internet connection + location enabled on your phone).
- Not all trails on the map are currently marked or numbered on the ground — this map is our proposal for organised signage. Until then, let the digital map guide you.
- More trails are still being added (mainly the south & east side) — stay tuned; updates appear on your phone automatically.
