Mountains of Greece

People around the world think of Greece as an endless series of islands with Athens as a setting for the Acropolis, but mountains are the one element that figures all around Greece, including the islands, and four mountains (Aegalo, Ymittos, Perilli and Parnitha) encircle Athens itself.
