Through part of the burn-out forest - from the devastating summer forest fires

 

Derelict buildings associated with the old marble quarrying industry

 

Up a steep bank

 

Beside an old marble-crushing plant
(small marble bits left from quarrying were crushed to make marble dust
-which is used to make the plaster for house walls)

 


Panoramic view from higher-up Pendeli (note the disused marble quarry)
