Athens Maps

Detailed Maps and Geography of Athens Greece

Athens is surrounded by mountains: Aigaleo to the west, Parnes to the north, Pentelikon to the northeast, and Hymettus to the east. Most are of limestone or marble, from which the ancient buildings of the city were constructed. The plain on which the city lies contains isolated limestone hills, including Lykavittos (Lycabettus), which rises 339 m (1,112 ft) above the sea, and the flat-topped Acropolis, 156 m (512 ft) high, around which the city grew. The city is on the Ilissus River, which is dry for much of the year and carries abundant water only after winter storms.
