Philopappos Hill

Philopappos Hill is a pine-covered park at an altitude of 147 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Acropolis and the Saronic Gulf. Charming paths designed with fragments of ancient marble lead to the ancient monument of Philopappos from the 2nd century AD.

Along the way, you will discover Socrates' Prison, a cave where the philosopher spent his last moments, the ruins of a Byzantine church, and the Temple of the Muses. It is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Parthenon, without the crowds of tourists.
