"For the best, least-crowded Parthenon views, I follow Dimitris Pikionis’s 1950s footpaths—laid with salvaged stones—past a Byzantine chapel, ancient quarry, and a 19th-century observatory whose silver dome hides an antique telescope occasionally used for stargazing; the hidden Pnyx awaits among the pines, a glorious twilight picnic spot." - Rachel Howard
