It is considered to be an ecosystem with high biodiversity providing dynamic equilibrium
The forests and wooded land of Mt. Hymettus play an important role in regulating the air temperature and the absorption of water amidst periods of rainfall.
Since antiquity, as it has already been mentioned, the mountain served as the ‘meteorological barometer’ of the surrounding area.
Additionally, Mt. Hymettus regulates the air quality as it contributes positively, purifying the atmosphere and combating smog, due to the circulation of air masses flowing from the Saronic Gulf towards the city in the morning and following the opposite direction at night.
Mt. Hymettus moreover, aesthetically enhances the environment of the capital with its natural beauty and especially its flora while still providing an ideal leisure space and offering a great view of the Attica basin.
