The Guide
From Kolonaki to the Riviera. Tap any card to open the spot straight in Google Maps. Filter by area, by mood, or just ask for what you're craving.
My easy one-day loop through the historic centre — no queues, all the good views. Start mid-morning and just drift.
Super central, a good landmark to start from (not GF, though). Grab a coffee and something warm.
Open in Maps →Right next door — a quick stop at the little Byzantine church beside the cathedral.
Open in Maps →The cutest little neighbourhood tucked under the Acropolis, with the best Acropolis view. Skip the actual site — it's not worth it.
Open in Maps →Put Dionysiou Areopagitou in Maps and just walk — the loveliest stroll, past the historic sights with Acropolis views the whole way.
Open in Maps →Go up for the Acropolis at golden hour — the roof of Hotel Grande Bretagne, or Electra Palace.
Grande Bretagne → Electra Palace →Lycabettus Hill has the best view over the whole city (cute café-bar up top) — and an open-air cinema is a must if it's summer.
Lycabettus →Prefer to start with brunch? Flip it — brunch first, walk up the promenade, then Anafiotika, and finish with lunch at Manári or Linou.
