The Streets of Athens
by WillAntoniou
Athens is a very personal city. It is very warm and kind to tourists. There are also very few main roads, so it is an experience in itself just to wonder the streets. Try it if you are in Athens, around dusk. It is really nice.
You might meet a few dogs on the way too. Don;t be scared, the majority of them are very friendly, however dirty, so don't try to adopt them or antyhing lol. Everything

Photo: The Burial mound at Marathon. Athen consider a big city,but the people here are very simple. English is spoken by all work of life...to me easy to communicate with local people. Since communication is smooth, easy to penetrate into this community...to know more about their way of life. I love this people very much, they are nice and humble.

It was on the first night in Athens and we decide to go up the Philopappos hill to see the faboulous athens view. I think that the view of Athens when the sun fall down was fantastic. Maybe a great romantic place!!

Lycabettus hill
by AndyRG
This hill is the highest in Athens, at an altitude of 277 m. You can go there through many footpaths or by the funicular railway (see my "transportation" tips).
A restaurant and a cafe are on the top of Lycabettus hill. The view is panoramic, if the sky is clear you can even see Aigina island! Coin-operated binoculars are available.
