Going to Athens,Mykonos and Santorini in June and would like some recommendations for really good restaurants. Especially a romantic one in Athens overlooking the Acropolis.

I've read many times about the lovely view from the restaurant at the Grand Bretagne Hotel. Excellent food, too.

Also, there's a restaurant at the top of Lycabettus Hill that has an excellent view of the whole city. Comments about the food aren't that positive, but it's a great place to have a drink and watch the sunset after a ride up the hill from the Kolonaki District in a funicular/cable car.

We leave for Greece at the end of this week and are staying at the Grande Bretagne - the rooftop restaurant is closed for renovations - we already tried to get reservations there and were told it is closed.

My favourite restaurant with an incredible Acropolis view is Strofi on Rovertou Galli street.

The galaxy bar at the Hilton ,is excellent for a drink after dinner.

A very nice romantic restaurant with a marvelous view of Athens is at the rooftop of Hotel Kaningos 21. Located in the center of Athens in 12, Chalkokondili, tel: 210 3300775

In Sept. 2005, my wife and I and another couple from N.Y.-Fl. dined at Orizontes, the restaurant on Lycabettus Hill in Athens. The views were beyond fantastic. All of us have been fortunate enough to have eaten at many good restaurants in N.Y., Fl. and all over the world for that matter, and on that occasion we all thought that the meal at Orizontes was very good.
