More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a narrow Athens lane and the city opens into stone, thyme-scented scrub and rising viewpoints. The Acropolis watches across a shallow valley while the route threads Areopagus, Pnyx and Philopappos — limestone hills that have seen citizens speak, soldiers pass and pilgrims pause for millennia.
