Introduction

You have already enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Athens from the lookout of the Acropolis, but we recommend that you go to the Lycabettus Hill lookout, which is more peaceful and comfortable, to avoid crowds and waiting. In addition, the night view of Lycabettus Hill is more brilliant, while the Acropolis closes at 7 p.m. The St. George Church on Lycabettus Hill is also a good choice, and admission is free. A priest wearing thick glasses will recite Greek scripture, and the vendors at the entrance are also very friendly. At night, two soldiers will complete a flag-raising/lowering ceremony under the flagpole, but it is much quieter than the changing of the guard ceremony at Constitution Square. Here, you will feel a serene and comfortable atmosphere, like a small world that belongs only to you and the lights.
