While the Acropolis is arguably Athen’s main draw, there are plenty of other sites to see if you’re a ruins lover, many of which can be accessed for free with your Acropolis ticket.
Ascending up Mt Lycabettus
Rising 200 meters above the rest of the area, Mt. Lycabettus is a great way to get panoramic views of Athens. You can get to the top of the mountain one of two ways – walking, or paying 7 euros to take the funicular up to the top.
Since it was a boiling 88 degrees, Mrs. Selfish and I decided to conserve our energy and take the furnicular.
