Agia Paraskevi is a suburb of Athens, Greece, in the northeast of Athens, about nine kilometers away from the city. It is linked to Athens by Mesogeion Avenue, a major road in the greater Athens area.
Built at the foot of mount Hymettus, Agia Paraskevi is one of the few suburbs of Athens to retain plenty of trees, and offers good opportunities for leisure activities, such as trekking, jogging and picnics. A beautiful route on the mountainside leads through the pine trees, to the small monastery of Saint John, known as "the hunter" in the area. There are spectacular views at the summit, to all Athens as far as Piraeus. |
