Ymittos (
Greek ?µ?tt??), is a suburb of
Athens,
Greece. It is also a mountain which is located just east of downtown. For more on this mountain, see
Hymettus. Ymittos Street, which is connected with Vouliagmenis Ave. and
Olof Palme St in
Zografou, runs through it. NE is the large campus of the
University of Athens and
Kaisariani. With a land area of 0.975 km², it is the second-smallest
municipality in Greece (after
Nea Chalkidona).
Until the 1920s, the area was partially forested and was an agricultural area, until suburban houses came in the early to mid 20th century. Now much of the area is urban. A couple of movies throughout the mid-20th century were filmed here.
Ymittos has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, post offices and squares (plateies). In particularly there are three lyceums.
