During the construction of the metro , numerous artifacts of archaeological interest were discovered. Their discovery was brought about as a result of what is known as salvage archeology, this is archeology that comes into play not because of natural decay but due to the artifact's imminent destruction by the systematic excavation process. Teams of archaeologists worked alongside engineers for a total of six years. They protected and recorded the archaeological evidence which was uncovered which included ancient streets, houses, cemeteries, sanctuaries, public workshops, foundry pits, kilns, aqueducts, wells, cisterns, drains and sewage tunnels. Together this allowed a new insight into the topography of the city in ancient times. Never before has such a rapid development of infrastructure been accompanied hand-in-hand with the attentive study and preservation of archaeological data.
Today, exhibitions of ancient artifacts can be found at various metro stations such as Acropolis, Monastiraki and Syntagma.

Mount Lykavittos / Λυκαβηττός is a limestone hill located in the center of Athens. It rises 277 meters / 908 feet above sea level, the hill is the highest point in the city of Athens not including suburbs. The hill is full of pine trees at its lower elevations and its peak is adorned with the 19th century St. George Greek Orthodox Church. Just below the church, on one side there is a theater which is popular for outdoor concerts and on the other, a restaurant with panoramic views of the Athenian basin.

Lykavittos appears in several legends. Popular stories suggest it was once the refuge of wolves, possibly the origin of its name (which means "the one (the hill) that is walked by wolves"). In Greek Mythology, Lykavittos is credited to the goddess Athena, who created it when she dropped a mountain she had been carrying from Pallini for the construction of the Parthenon.

There are only three settlements on Angistri - Milos (Megalohori), Skala and Limenaria. Milos has a population of 461 and is the main village where the majority of the Greek population of the island lives. Skala with a population of 354 is a twenty-minute walk from Milos along the coastal road. Skala is where most of the tourist facilities and hotels are. Limenaria with 105 residents is a very small village on the other side of the island with very little tourism. The island's population is 920 inhabitants according to the national Greek census. Its land area is 8.3 miles² or 13.367 km².
