The Gerania Mountains are a mountain range stretching about 60 km long and about 20 km wide, in western Attica, and eastern Corinthia. Their altitudes range from 200 metres in the north to 1,369 metres at their highest point, the Makryplagi peak. The northwestern side of the mountain with the famous Pindisa peak and an altitude of 1,032 metres offers magnificent views of the Saronic Gulf and the Anatolian part of the Corinthian Sea.
