The Marika Kotopouli Museum is a modern art museum in Zografou, Athens, Greece. The building housing the museum was built by the famous Greek theater actress Marika Kotopouli (1887–1954) as her holiday home in 1926. During the Second World War, the house was requisitioned by the Germans and after the war it housed the local Police Station. The Zographou Municipality with support of the Association of Greek Actors restored the building with its distinctive architecture and beautiful interiors. In 1990, it opened to the public as a museum of modern art. It hosts various interim art exhibitions as well as the permanent collection of Konstantinos Ioannides.

Eleftherios Kyriakou Venizelos was a Cretan Greek statesman and prominent leader of the Greek national liberation movement. He is noted for his contribution to the expansion of Greece and promotion of liberal-democratic policies. As leader of the Liberal Party, he held office as prime minister of Greece for over 12 years, spanning eight terms between 1910 and 1933. During his governance, Venizelos entered in diplomatic cooperation with the Great Powers and had profound influence on the internal and external affairs of Greece. He has therefore been labelled as "The Maker of Modern Greece" and is still widely known as the "Ethnarch".

Agios Georgios is a medieval church in Attica, located on top of Lycabettus Hill. In the depictions of travelers, it seems that there was a temple in this area in the past. Also, thanks to two inscriptions found, we know that originally there was the "cemetery of Anastasios Harkeos and Ev. Orandas" as well as "Cemetery of interest". When the first church fell into ruins, a new single-aisled, basilica temple was built on the same foundations for Agios Georgios. On the floor there is an inscription indicating that the chapel of Agios Georgios was established by the Metropolitan of Athens Benedict (1782-1785). Later the church was expanded with the addition of two chapels, Prophet Elias and Agios Konstantinos.
