Welcome to the National Park of Parnitha! Welcome to the National Park of Parnitha! Mt Parnitha is located in Sterea Ellas (Central Greece) and is the highest mountain in the vicinity of Athens. It extends in a large area, presenting variable topography with several summits, gorges, streams and plateaus. In 1961 the entire mountain (~25,000 hectares) was declared a National Park. The core zone of the Park comprises the high peaks of Parnitha, an area of c. 3,800 hectares, and most of that area (90%) is covered with firforest (Abies cephalonica). Around the core lies the peripheral or buffer zone, which includes the rest of the mountain and is covered with pinus forest(Pinus halepensis). Topography The variable topography is the most interesting characteristic of Parnitha. Long ridges extending from east to west form 16 summits with altitude above 1,000 m, Karabola summit being the highest (1,413 m). Geology The main substrates of Mt Parnitha are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, formed c. 570-1 million years ago. Schists and marbles are the most Photo gallery common substrates, followed by schists (which appear in the valleys) and some flysch. Hydrology The arrangement of the rocks favours the existence of 46 springs, which flow continuously and form Play our several streams and small ponds. Limestone allows game and the flow of water through it, while schist doesn't; meet the where limestone meets schist, water emerges on the surface, forming a spring. The Kithara spring is animals well known for supplying the Hadrian Aqueduct, living on Mt which was completed in 140 A.D. and consisted Parnitha! primarily of an underground tunnel, 25 km. long, which was constructed manually through solid rock by hundreds of slaves using simple tools such as chisels and hammers. The aqueduct was designed not only to transfer water towards the city but also to collect it through a number of smaller catchment works along the way. The Hadrian Aqueduct began at the foot of Mount Parnitha in the area of Contact: Tatoi and transported water by gravity to a stone reservoir on the hill of Lycabettus in the city of Athens. Other well known springs are the Aghia Triada, Mola, Skipiza and Koromilia springs. Forest Service of Parnitha There are no rivers of continuous flow on the Thrakomakedonon Ave. mountain. However, there are a lot of seasonal 142, Acharnes. GR13601 streams with clear water, such as the Aghia Athens, Greece. Triada, Chouni, Mola, Keladonas, Aghios Georghios and Maurorema streams. Tel.: 0030 210 2434061-3 fax.: 0030 210 2434064 Caves and precipices On Mt. Parnitha there are also several caves mail: [email protected] and precipices, especially on the south and southwest slopes, where limestone dominates. The most famous cave is the one of Panas, name taken by the worship of the God Panas and the Nymphs. It lies in the north of Keladonas' gorge, at 620 m. The most beautiful precipices are in Keramidi (27 m depth), Tamilthi (35 m depth), Gkoura (20 m depth), Dekeleia (20 m depth) and Ntabelis'(8 m depth, 200 m2 cave). Climate Home page The climate of the mountain differs substantially from the climate of the Attica plain, especially in regard to air temperature and precipitation. The temperature in the high peaks of Parnitha is 2-6°C smaller than the temperature in the foothills. The precipitation is double in higher altitudes, while frost and fog are very common during fall and winter. Access Parnitha lies only 30 km NW of central Athens and can be easily accessed by south and west. From the south, the main road leads from the foothills of the mountain until Aghia Triada (1,020 m alt.), where it meets a belt road 16 km long - not accessible to automobiles. From the west, main road leads from Fyli settlement to Fyli spring (17 km), where it meets a side road, leading to Aghia Triada.

The fire brigade said seven water-bombing aircraft, five helicopters, 70 fire trucks and more than 500 firefighters were battling the flames in a zone that includes the former Greek royal family's summer palace of Tatoi and several monasteries. "There was no wind," one resident told the Open TV channel. "How come the firemen couldn't quickly extinguish the blaze?" The blaze spread at the foot of Mount Parnitha with the fire service telling people to evacuate. Hundreds of firefighters, water-bombing planes and helicopters battled forest fires near Athens on Tuesday that saw villages evacuated and part of a major motorway closed, officials said.

  • The Hadrianic Aqueduct
    Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology Rhodes, Greece, 3-5 September 2015 THE HADRIANIC AQUEDUCT CHRISTAKI M.1, STOURNARAS G.1 and NASTOS P.2 1 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, Department of Dynamic Tectonic Applied Geology, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784, 2 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, Department of Geography and Climatology, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, 15784 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since prehistoric times, the city of Athens and the wider region of Attica did not contain many natural water sources so aquatic reserves were never adequate to meet the needs of residents, as these changed through time. The construction of aqueducts was part of a more organized effort to address the water needs of the Attica basin area since prehistoric times. A key step in developing the city’s water infrastructure took place during the Roman occupation of Athens when the Hadrianic aqueduct and the Hadrianic reservoir were built. Construction began in 125 AD and was completed in 140 AD The Hadrianic was underground with natural flow requiring a small and continuous slope along the aqueduct. Wells, communicated through the aqueduct, were placed at regular intervals. The main branch of the aqueduct - the central part of the Hadrianic, consists of the main tunnel, approximately 20 Km which starts from the foot of Mount Parnitha in the Olympic Village and ends up in the reservoir of Lycabettus, exploiting the water sources of Parnitha, Penteli and the Kifissos River. Gravity collected water from the water sources in the main tunnel and there was also the contribution of smaller aqueducts along the route.

  • The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors
    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
