About Strefi Hill
Strefi Hill rises above Exarchia, a rocky green outcrop that historians believe once formed a single ridge with Lycabettus and Tourkovounia. Its paths climb quickly from the streets below to a summit with a wide view over the rooftops of Athens. Our advice: pair it with the Saturday farmers’ market on Kallidromiou Street at its foot, and go up in daylight.
Our take
- City views
- Close to Kallidromiou
- Away from the crowds
