About Agia Paraskevi

Once a small farming village, Agia Paraskevi now forms part of Athens’ urban sprawl. It lies on the northern edge of the Hymettus mountain range, whose forested slopes provide an attractive setting for hiking. Agia Paraskevi takes its name from the suburb’s main church, which is dedicated to Saint Paraskevi of Rome.

In the north-east corner is the Byzantine-inspired Holy Church of Saint Paraskevi-Mesogion, which is decorated with beautiful frescoes.

If you’re a keen runner, head to the Municipal Stadium of Cholargos "A. Polydora”, which boasts an outstanding athletics track accessible to the public. Soccer fans can coincide their visit with a home game of the Agia Paraskevi Football Club, whose matches are always lively thanks to the club’s passionate and devoted fans.

On the southern edge of Agia Paraskevi is the Holy Monastery of Saint John Kynegos, which lies on the slopes of the Hymettus mountain range.
