ABOUT

Hymettus, east of Athens, is a valuable birding site combining Mediterranean scrub, pine woodland, rocky slopes and open areas. Its varied habitats support a diverse range of resident birds and provide important stopover habitat for migrants. Spring and autumn are particularly productive, with warblers, flycatchers, raptors, shrikes and other passerines.
The mountain’s proximity to Athens makes it an accessible and rewarding destination for birdwatchers.
