topmost hills in city of Athens. To get to the
top, you can either hike up a forested slope or
theres a convenient cable car to the top. The
best offers one of the most magnificent views of
the Athens city. Apart from the view, there are
many other things to do up there.  Theres a
gourmet Greek restaurant with probably the most

other part of the hill. Concerts are held here in
summertime. 6. CINE PARIS I am sure you have
heard/experienced wine with a view. But have you
ever heard of watching movie on the big screen
with a view? Well, Cine Paris is the name. This
is basically an open air theater where you can
watch movie with the view of Acropolis. To get
the best of this unique experience, we recommend
going at Sunset. Since the theater is open air,
it is open only in Summer time. For reservations,

7. SHOP IN THE PLAK The Plaka is one of the most
beautiful and iconic areas in Athens. It is
located below the Acropolis. It offers pretty
cobblestones streets with chic roadside cafes and
shops selling jewelry, local ceramics and
clothes. Most of area is a no traffic zone. Thus
it is a great place to away from the city bustle
and just relax. Cine Paris is also located here
if you are in mood for watching a view with the
Acropolis view. 8. SMASH THINGS AT LIMBA RAGE
ROOM Well this is not your touristy site. If you
are feeling enraged and you want it out, or you

Limba Rage room is the place. The ticket
includes package of plates, bottles, a tube TV
and glasses. So you basically buy this stuff and

9. DRINK AT BRETTOS BAR This bar is one of
oldest distillery in Europe. Its decoration with
numerous colorful-lit bottles sets it apart. 
This bar serves classic alcohol all crafted
using old family recipes. The place is an
old-fashioned distillery bar with a great vibe.
And this is also located in Plaka. I will
recommend going here for a drink or two. 10.
