Hike· Aegina· Greece — Ionian, Saronic & Argolic
Mount Oros & Temple of Zeus Hellanios
37° 42.5′ N · 23° 29.8′ E
Aegina's conical summit (about 532 m), the most prominent landmark in the Saronic, with a 13th-century church on the foundations of the sanctuary of Zeus Hellanios at its foot.
Practical
Position: the Zeus Hellanios site near Pachia Rachi (OpenStreetMap). From Perdika, take a scooter half-way and walk about 20 minutes to the top; Wikivoyage also gives about 45 minutes on a marked path from the Lefkis road. Go early in summer — no shade near the top.
