Tourkovunia is the highest and best known hill range of Attica. It got its name from the existence of the Turkish cemetery in the area and from the fact that the army of the Turk Pasha Omar was encamped before the liberation of Athens. In the past, various names were given to the area such as Aghesmos and Lykovunia. In the area is the Attiko grove, the Galatsi Youth Center and the monastery with the church of Prophet Ilias. Polygono and Galatsi Panorama are located on their slopes. In the period 1937-1976, a quarry operated, destroying the beauty of the landscape. Even today there are abandoned buildings, concrete structures and garbage. That is why the area is also called Damaria.
