Mt. Imitos Promenade

Two weeks ago, while two good friends from Oregon – Vernon & Rosy – were visiting me in Athens, a group of my classmates organized a Sunday afternoon hike to (nearly) the top of Mount Imitos. Imitos is a broad mountain, which lies to the west of the city, not far from our apartment. It was a beautiful, sunny day, so we got some nice views of Athens and of the sea (to the SW). Here are some pics from our stroll:
