The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city").[1] The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times the Acropolis of Athens was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.

The historical weight was and remains the name of its founder, Aristotle Onassis, who in January 1974, οn an airplane crossing over the Atlantic, was inspired to write the Foundation's founding declaration. The responsibility can be condensed into the words “aid, progress and development”, which Onassis himself carefully chose, noted down, underlined, and passed on as a legacy, the motivating factor underpinning the Foundation’s existence. And the desire was, is, and will remain, the individual.
The Foundation’s first and last principle is human nature. Progress, stories and the individual’s imprint within the greater whole of the city. Words and curiosity — sometimes torturous, sometimes entertaining, but always creative. Thoughts, contradictions, and above all the release of possibilities, of the strengths we each carry within, which develop if properly nurtured. The individual, full of contradictions and adventures, takes shape in an ongoing workshop of actions, interventions and ideas that begins with the Foundation’s financial self-sufficiency and independence and ends with its three central pillars of activity: Culture, Education and Health. These are the things a human being needs to truly live — rather than merely to survive.
Above all, the Onassis Foundation is a heterogeneous human ecosystem. It is a gathering of personalities, moods, goals and talents that allows for unexpected encounters between artists, doctors, business-people, academics, sailors, philosophers, technocrats and activists, resulting in the words that bring them together — words that are always more than they had expected.

Koukaki, with an increase of 801%, is high on the list of neighborhoods that experienced the biggest rise in popularity perhaps because it is a great place, next to the Acropolis, which has benefited in recent years from the creation of two pedestrian streets ( Drakou, Olympus) and where while drinking your coffee or your drink you can stare at the passers-by.

Petralona, and especially its upper half of Ano Petralona, is a neighbourhood often quoted as an example of contemporary Athenian gentrification. However, this is far from the truth since Ano Petralona always was, and remains, a charming residential area. Built on the foot of the Philopappou Hill hugging the Acropolis, below the ancient settlement of Koile, Ano Petralona has a truly Athenian vibe. This is why the addresses worth visiting are those with a neighbourhood feel, rather than the faux traditional joints that have sprung up in the last few years.
