The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Omonia, Attica

May 27, 2021 Jana Sager

Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Areopagus

Reviewed By sweettea4me2016 - Cairo, Egypt

This is Mars Hill where Paul preached. The Romans called this hill, Mars Hill, after Mars, the Roman God of War. Its free. Open 24 hrs. Its just a few hundred meters from the Acropolis. The Athenian altar to the Unknown God was here or close by and Paul preached the sermon that can be found in Acts 17:19-34. We had a nice view overlooking the Greek Agora and the Roman Agora. Its better to wear athletic shoes here. I wore flip flops and I thought I could fall at any time.

Kolonaki Square

A modern street lined with the city's chicest boutiques, coffee houses and restaurants.

Reviewed By permia

In the grand neighbourhood of Kolonaki between National Garden and Mount Lycabettus is this pleasantly tranquil space. With greenery, nicely laid out paving and paths, statuary and seating, its popularity is not difficult to understand. Amongst the gleaming white sculptural busts of notables are some more abstract creations. One shows a woman without a head but with one wing. Slightly slouching on a seat a big stringed instrument is on her lap.
