Sightseeing
Acropolis of Athens
A must-see land mark! Amazing view from the top.
One of the first neighbourhoods in Athens, built the 19th century by workers who came from the Greek island Anafi. You can walk around the neighbourhood, explore this hidden spot and feel like you are in an island!

Parks & Nature
This is a great spot to walk from the house to syntagma in just 10 minutes. I would recommend it mostly during the day. It's not dangerous but there is not a lot of lighting during the night.
