Parnitha holds a symbolic character for the residents of the capital. The fir forests, the gorges, the National Park, the deer, and its numerous springs embody the concepts of wild nature just a breath away from the concrete metropolis. This is why the fire of 2007 had a significant psychological impact on Athenians. However, the biggest mistake after a natural disaster is to say, the mountain is ruined, I won't go back. Parnitha after the fire is like a patient: it needs more love and care than before. Fortunately, there are many of our fellow citizens who love Parnitha. Not only did they not abandon it, but they also intensified their activities on the mountain. New paths were opened, many were maintained, and acquired new improved signage. These developments are presented in the new (5th) edition of the Parnitha map, which depicts the extent of the burnt area as well as all the developments in the large - fortunately - remaining forested area. The map is printed on the new synthetic paper Polyart with a detachable cardboard cover.

The "Topo" series represents the latest step in the long evolution of "Anavasi's" cartographic work.
The "Topo" series includes maps at scales of 1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000, and 1:10,000. The maps are constructed in the Hellenic Geodetic Reference System (HGRS 87), the national geodetic system implemented to meet the needs of the country's major cadastral and mapping programs.
Considering that a map is a tool on which the user's safety sometimes depends, "Anavasi" strives to offer the best and most accurate cartographic material. Thus, all work (construction of the bases, collection and depiction of field data, final map composition) is done with defined and strict quality and fidelity specifications, ensuring the highest possible accuracy for the specific scales.
In the "Topo" series of "Anavasi," two coordinate systems appear:
-The 1 km grid in the Hellenic Geodetic Reference System. It is a complete rectangular grid (orange lines). The HGRS projected coordinates are expressed in meters.
-The crosses of geographic coordinates every 1 minute in WGS84. These are the intersection points of meridians and parallels of the global geodetic reference system projected onto the map.
If you use the map in combination with GPS, you can locate your position based on the coordinates provided by the GPS without changing any settings.
