Mount Chortiatis, Mountain summit in Thessaloniki Metropolitan Unit, Greece.
Mount Chortiatis rises to 1,201 meters above sea level, forming a natural landmark southeast of Thessaloniki with dense forest coverage across its slopes.
The ancient Greeks referred to this mountain as Cissus, and during the Roman period, an aqueduct transported water from its springs to Thessaloniki.
The mountain holds the remnants of the Chortaiton monastery from Byzantine times, which operated until the fifteenth century and influenced the current name.
Multiple hiking trails cross the mountain slopes, connecting various viewpoints that offer perspectives over Thessaloniki and the surrounding municipalities.
Eighty-five documented plant species grow on Mount Chortiatis, contributing to the ecological diversity of the Seich Sou Forest National Park.
