Petroupoli

The Petroupoli Level Antennae are situated right above the city of Petroupoli, right beyond the borders with Eastern Peristeri, and also overlooking parts of Kamatero and Ano Liosia. They are mainly four, out of which the first, and highest one , has been reached, as of December 8, 2016. Those antennae have been investigated by Vuoriors and adventurers of Vuori in general, mainly because, like the Zacharitsa Antennae, they can be viewed very easily from all over the town of Peristeri and the surrounding ones.

## Petroupoli Antenna 1

The first Petroupoli Antenna is also the highest, and is located on the tops of Eastern Vuori, beyond the Vuori Needle and the Vuori Village .

It was Conquered Thursday, December 8, 2016, by Vuorior James Kingston and fellow adventurer and year-long savvy of the Mountain, George Stroubis. After following a huge gamut of treks and 'broken roads' all over the squiggly paths of the lush vegetation in the crevices and crannies of the legendary mountain, a combination of three dirt road paths was reached circa 10 30 am. The Left Road is rumored to lead to the very same Petroupoli Antennae, after circumventing the Petroupoli hills, thus making a tour of the Eastern side and by-passing the infamous Other Side. The Central one, which was the one followed, leads directly to this antenna, while the right one, which was also not taken but promised to be taken very soon, leads to the rest of the lower Petroupoli Antennae.

This Antenna also has a surrounding radio station, and is locked finely with silver, heavy lock doors and metal bars with chains. Various green recycle bins were spotted inside the station, and also a rusty metal container in the vicinity of the hillock the antenna lies on.

No Electromagnetic Radiation concern was present, although this is the case with most of the antennae. These rumors have been mainly debunked, although the better state all Petroupoli Antennae seemed to be in, might hint at a better preservation than Zacharitsa, and certainly at fewer illegal Radio Aerials installed on the tops.

## Second to fourth Petroupoli Antennae.

As of January 20, 2017 , and following James Kingston's promise to return with fellow adventurer George Stroubis for the rest of the antennae seen from everywhere around their city, the rest of the 3 antennae were eventually reached. Following an entrance from the Petroupoli Graveyard , a dirt road was used to reach the upper parts of Vuori beyond the Vuori Needle , after leaving behind a bundle of small stables with calm horses. A hazardous side full of cresses, hawthorns and seismogenic earth cavities had to be traversed for the two to reach the safety of the Cypress Grove on the next top, a calm sunlit place overlooking all Petroupoli-Kamatero Antennae.

This time the pair reached the place where three roads met but took the one on the right, by-passing the first antenna which had already been reached. This took them in a rather tiring but well-savored adventure through the Grove of Ashes , another grove surrounding the rest of the antennae which owes its name to the gamut of once burnt plans and thickets on dry earth.

The second antenna was reached and proved to be the only one in all Poikilo not to be guarded with a fenced station, hence giving the chance to the Vuoriors to touch it, and also take internal shots.

As if symbolically, when the third antenna was reached via path lost in the woods surround it which was informally deemed the Lost Trek, a harsh cry very much known to James Kingston was echoed, and a partridge was caught speeding away lighting-fast. The antenna itself was one of the two seen from an even wider plain all around, and was short with plenty of sound drums and added metallic poles. It featured a small radio station with some boxes and the original road to it was a small slope of approximately 20 feet.

Eventually, the fourth antenna, the one clearly seen from neighborhoods all around, was reached, surrounded by a rather big radio station which could be entered but still enclosing the antenna itself. Signs of people having lived there were present, as sacks of picked flowers were noticed outside, along with bottles of water and containers with mattresses and what looked to be wooden doors and tiles in some, lost under the canopy of a pine tree next to the Antenna. The fact this was the last Antenna of all Aegaleo Oros on the East side, gave the two the chance to snap photos of an incredible Panorama of all areas beyond the east end, deeming the top the End of Vuori.

## Return

The descent from these tops the first time happened via the three-directions road and back to the Where Partridges Gather after-roads. On January 20, 2017 , however this was a bit more perilous, as the distance crossed for the rest of the antennae proved to be somewhat of an obstruction. Consequently, a full circle cross back to the low basins of the Grove of Ashes was followed, where its small top was also reached, after the traversing of a clear dirt path with plenty of side trees partly blocking an Eternal Sun, the calmness and Glory of the road leading to its being named the Path to Serenity .

Eventually yet another perilous side above what was revealed to be a dried out crick, later called the Petroupoli-Kamatero Riverbed, was descended and lonely places with old , stoned roofs were reached, where pictures were snapped. The seismogenic ground continued there too with many cracks also leading to low dams made along the riverbed, probably once having been used to block Rainwater. Upon its full crossing, the final woods of Kamatero were reached at the place where the Ilion-Kamatero buses were gathered.

Turning right and by-passing small rural-like roads, the two located a loosely visited path with stoned sides, called the Railway Road, within the final of the forests and followed it, taking pictures at old wooden posts too. The end of this road signified the return to Petroupoli, after leaving Theatro Petras behind, and the completion of the journey back where the car used was left, by the Petroupoli Graveyard.
