Temple of Olympian Zeus

posted by kanderson on 11 November 2010 at 17:19

Those ancient greeks didn't so things by halves did they? You can just guess at the sheer size of the temple here which must have been amazing when it was new and there were 104 columns rather than the 15(!) that are there now, and it still looks imposing. Mind-blowing.

Leoforos Vasilissis Amalias, just down from the acropolis

National Gardens

posted by yhouser on 11 November 2010 at 17:18

The national gardens are a lush and beauitiful oasis away from the heat of the town. Watch out for glorious birds and stacked-up water turtles!! The odd bit of ruin reminds you where you are if the ducks get so out of control that you start to believe you must be on a duck farm!!

Metro, syntagma

Temple of Poseidon

posted by bbellinger on 11 November 2010 at 17:17

About an hour's drive from Athens you'll find a great place, the ruins of the Poseidon Temple in Sounion. We were up there for the sunset and it was stunning, you really feel history at times like that.

Sounion, 65km to the south

Mount Lycabettus

posted by nelinor on 11 November 2010 at 17:15

Staying in a hostel I went back after going here and was astonished that nobody else there had been up here! You don't even have to climb, there's a train-like thing that takes you! The view from the top is great and there's a nice cafe for a refreshment or two. I'd love to see a band at the amphitheatre but sadly that wasn't possible.

where, when, how, web
It's the big hill in the middle of the city...not hard to find!

Menara KL Tower

posted by hbiery on 11 November 2010 at 16:54

I knew I wanted to go here before I touched down, it's one of the iconic buildings in KL. The views are, as you would expect, just brilliant, althoguh i don't think i could stomach food at such a height even though there's plenty on offer up there!

where, when, how, web
Jalan Punchak, Off Jalan P. Ramlee, bukit nanas monorail
