Λυκαβηττόςのおすすめツーリングルート

Certainly the most atmospheric and impressive old monastery on the Attica peninsula, a visit to which can be combined with a beautiful hike.

“All dogs go to heaven” Loukanikos - meaning "Sausage" - was ginger mongrel which became a Greek folk hero during anti-austerity riots in 2011 and sadly died aged 10 in October 2014. Loukanikos used to charge and yelp alongside protesters when they confronted police and were tear-gassed in the streets of Athens. A leftist newspaper, Avgi, says the dog has been buried in the shade of a tree on a hill in the city centre. Loukanikos was a stray but a protester took him in and looked after him. The dog was originally called Theodor. In 2011 Time magazine listed Loukanikos as one of its personalities of the year.

A wonderful place on the outskirts of Athens. A good starting or finishing point for a circular hike on the paths around the monastery and towards the peaks. Parking is limited, however. Another alternative is the car park further up the road at the fire brigade observation tower.

a ceremony that is similarly performed in many capital cities: London, Denmark, Norway, etc.

Rocky bays but scenic coastal road

The president's residence is guarded by the Evzones, guards in traditional clothing, who change every hour at a quarter past. The changeover here attracts a much smaller crowd than the one on Syntagma Square, so you can see the ceremony a lot better.

here you can watch 20' after every hour the change of the guards of the president🤓📷

The street art of Loukanikos is a tribute to this famous Athenian street dog who died in 2014. Loukanikos became a national hero because he was always present at the riots in Syntagma Square during the economic crisis of the early 1910s. On the front line of the demonstrations, he enthusiastically joined the demonstrators by barking loudly at the riot police.
