Must See Sights and Landmarks in Greece Area

"Located on the Acropolis of Athens, the Parthenon is a grandiose temple that has become the symbol of Athens and Greece."

"Unlike Athens’ most famous summit, Mount Lycabettus is free to climb on foot, but you can also take a funicular to the summit. Northeast of the city centre, this cretaceous limestone peak rises to 300 metres and its lower slopes are decked in pine trees, which become sparser as you approach the rocky summit. The walk is best saved for winter and not the searing Athens summer, while the funicular runs on the hour and half-hour."

"The view from Lycabettus, or Lykavittos, hill is spectacular, reaching down to the sea and the closest islands. The tiny 19th century church of Saint George, perched on the summit of Lycabettus, the highest point in Athens, is a favorite for romantic weddings. You can reach Lycabettus walking up the steep steps, or take the funicular railway from Aristippou street."
