This beacon that looms over Athens stands at 277 metres tall. It offers incredible views and is the best vantage point to look at the sprawling cityscape below. You can get up there in two ways: if you’re feeling energetic then hike up or opt for a convenient funicular ride to reach the top. Whichever way you go, you’ll be rewarded with a magnificent vista that stretches from the Acropolis to the Saronic Gulf.
