Parks & Nature
The hill of Lycabettus is a pine covered hill visible from every part of the city, as it is the highest point in Athens. It dominates the megalopolis, rising at 270 meters above it. At the top of the hill one can visit the 19th century picturesque chapel of St.George, built on the same location of the Byzantine church of Prophet Ilias. The legend says during the ancient times, wolves roamed freely on the hill, then surrounded by countryside. The hill was named Lykavittos, which means the hill of the wolves. The Lycabettus hill offers an incredible panoramic view over the entire city and the surrounding mountains.

It is located just bellow the entrance of the Acropolis, between the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. The myth relates that it was the place where the council of gods held a trial for the god of war, Aris, who was accused of the murder of the son of Poseidon, Halirrhothios. In the Ancient Times, it used to be the place where the murder trials took place.
The Areopagus Hill is also the place where Apostole Paul came to preach Christianity with his famous Sermon on an Unknown God in 51 A.D. It is said that his speech converted Dionysos, who became the Patron Saint of the city. The Areopagus Hill is easily accessible by the steps sculpted into the rock. The hill offers a great panoramic view.

Filopappos Hill (or the Hill of the Muses) can be seen opposite of the Acropolis. The hill took it name from a funeral monument built at its top in 115 A.D in memory of the Roman consul Gaius Julius Antiochus Philopappos. The monument used to measure 10 meters, and was adorned by statues of the family of Filopappos.
The hill is also known as the Hill of the Muses, since the myth says it used to be the home of the 9 muses. The hill is lovely, completely covered by pine trees. Its top, only accessible by foot, offers incredible panoramic views over Athens, the acropolis and the Saronic Gulf. The hill also houses the small Byzantine chapel of Agios Dimitrios which contains some fine frescoes.

The National Gardens (Etnikos Kipos) or Kings Gardens are situated in the heart of Athens. These gardens were originally the royal gardens, and were designed by the Queen Amalia in the 19th century. They are an oasis of coolness and green in a big noisy city. Strolling around the gardens one will discover some interesting kind of trees and plants, duck ponds, a small zoo and a botanical museum which houses paintings and photographs. Many efforts have been made recently to clean up the gardens and to offer to the animals captured in the zoo more comfortable conditions. The gardens also house a playground and some nice cafes. They are located behind the Greek Parliament and the central square
