Completely forgot about this place, whether its worthy of report here or high places i'm not sure but it was a bitch of a climb.

The ancient castle of Athinaion is at an altitude of 1356m (4550 ft), near the monastery of Theotokos at Gkoura. It was built somewhere between the 5th and 1st century B.C. It was taken over by King Philip of Macedonia the Fifth, in 189 B.C., during his campaign against the Athamans. It was destroyed in 46 B.C. by Julius Caesar.

These pics don't really do it justice the view was incredible.





Could drive so far but the rest was up mountain.
