Miłe miejsce na odpoczynek. Małe knajpki tuż przy pomniku pozwolą na złapanie oddechu, wypicie kawy i obejrzenie tego zabytku. Uroczy zakątek more »
A nice place to relax. Small coffee shops next to the monument will allow you to catch your breath, drinking coffee and the view of the monument. A charming cornerView original -
プラカ地区を歩いていたら突然このモニュメントが現れました。 グーグルの地図にも載っているので有名なものなのか?と思いましたが詳細は分かりません。 こういうものが街中に普通にあるのはさすがアテネですね。 more »
I was walking the Plaka district, when suddenly appeared this monument. Famous one because it is shown on the Google map? I do not know details. Something like this is normal throughout the city is truly Athens.View original

It was interesting to visit this monument; and although it has a very fascinating history; I wouldn't probably get out of my way to visit it; especially if you have limited time in Athens, as there are so many other sites and landmarks that are worth-visiting; however, there are so many things to do in this area so don’t let my comment put you off as it was just my experience and was here for only three days.

Well, history is everywhere. And this is another great piece of history. The location is kind of cool, with some nice restaurants overlooking it. But there are so many amazing monuments to human achievement in Athens, that this is not that hot, to me.

Im simply in love with Athens so I do enjoy most places. This monument is, therefore, also a nice place to visit.

A beautiful monument situated in the central part of the Plaka district just by the wayside in between two restaurants.
-
The best time to visit this place is the sunset time. One can visualize the complete Athens city from this mountain. The evening sunset view is mind blowing.
