★★★★★2 months agoMount Strefi is a beautiful spot with amazing views over Athens. It’s much less crowded than other viewpoints, so you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The gentle breeze makes it a perfect place to relax, especially around sunset. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a quiet place with great city views.

★★★★★7 months agoI was really surprised. A beautiful and clean view point in Athens. Less popular but worth seeing it. A lot of police who keep order here. A lot of people with their lovely doggy friends.
