Pedio tou Areos:
The well-known statue of Athena in Pedio tou Areos is in fact a monument in honor of those killed in Greece, Australian, New Zealand and Britain during World War II.
A six-meter statue of Athena is placed in a six-meter column, with a serious expression as befits the case.
He wears a helmet and holds a shield and a spear.
At the base of the column is a Lion, a symbol of the fallen men.
There are also three cenotaphs on the pedestal.
It is the work of the sculptor Falireas and its unveiling took place in 1952.
Lycabettus Hill:
Excellent panoramic view of the whole of Athens from the stone hill of Lycabettus.
Above is the church of Agios Georgios, as a religious place of pilgrimage.
Enough green in Athens for a walk on the road or paths.
