One of the stunningly scenic secret Athens locations only locals know about - Strefi Hill - with the Acropolis on in the distance.⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ There were no tourists here. 😄🙀 And we only found it because our new friend, Nicole, volunteers in the "This Is My Athens" program. It's a free service that connects visitors and locals, so they can show tourists an unfiltered, organic view of Athens, Greece. These aren't professional tour guides, rather passionate locals who want to showcase their fascinating city. Nicole took us to her favourite cafes, street art and views. This unique experience should be on every visitor's itinerary.⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ You can book your own free tour at myathens.thisisathens.org or check out my most recent article on travelwithbender.com for more photos and details.⠀ ⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." - Marie Curie⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ One other secret viewpoint was shared on a different tour. I won't say what it is right now, but trust me when I say it blew my socks off... and we had it all to ourselves. @athensbybiketours runs sunset tours around the Acropolis in Athens. 🚲The best part, you get fit at the same time!⠀ ___⠀ ⠀ @thisisathens
