Harry's Athens Greece Guide Index
If you are looking for a point to start your tour of Athens I suggest Syntagma Square (Constitution Sq.) the center of the center or the introduction to the new Athens Metro which is handy for sight seeing in the center as well. You should read both!
For the best views of Athens I recommend: Mt Lykabettus (Lykavittos) and Philopapo Hill and of course the Acropolis but Mt. Lykavittos is better.
For ferry and Piraeus info see the Greece ferry schedules links main menu.
