- 11.Lycabettus at sunset — The other hill — higher than the Acropolis, with the whole city and the sea laid out to the horizon. Walk up through the pines or take the funicular; either way, be there when the light goes orange.
- 13.The Evzones at Syntagma — The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — pom-pom shoes, slow-motion high kicks, completely serious and utterly hypnotic. On the hour, every hour; the full ceremonial version is Sunday 11am.
