Athens is a city with over 3,000 years of history, having been inhabited by the Mycenaeans, the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, and the Ottomans. It boasts a great number of sites, some little known, from which to admire this magnificent city.
That’s why we decided to compile a list of viewpoints that includes not only the best spots to appreciate the Acropolis and the surrounding area, but also other interesting, hidden, and little-known viewpoints, offering a different perspective of the city.
This list includes the typical viewpoints of Areos Pagos, Philopappos, and Lycabettus, plus other lesser-known vantage points.
Some are rooftop cafes, and some belong to museums. Often, it’s possible to ask permission to visit the cafe without paying the museum entrance fee, and it’s also possible to enjoy the view without buying a coffee.
The list also includes viewpoints that are difficult to access by public transport, such as those on Mount Parnitha and Mount Hymettus.
