DIRECTIONS TO THE HASH

Date: Sunday 19th Jan 2020 @ 11am aka 11.00hrs
Run:2104 -ish
Hare: Pussy Basher
Venue: Filopappou Hill – National Observatory
On Inn: tbc

MIS-DIRECTIONS:

By Metro: Get off at Thission metro (green line) and walk right up the hill on the pedestrian road Apostolou Pavlou.

Turn right towards Aghia Marina church. To the right of the square in front of the church there's a path that goes up to the National Observatory.

Meet outside the Observatory by the steps that are next to Filopappou Hill. [Map below]

By car: Make your way to Pireos Street, central Athens. Driving south towards Piraeus, take a left turn to Thissio on Iraklion Street which turns onto Nileos.

Be careful at the top of Nileos next to loads of cafes - do not follow the road around a sharp hairpin bend (on to Akamentos), but carry on (leftish)

- to what looks like a pedestrian walkway (cars are allowed on this stretch) and take the second right turn.

Follow this road uphill as far as it will go. Carry on for about 1km and turn right on Bikos which will take you up to the National Observatory.

There are plenty of places to park there. [Map below]
