Located on a Rocky outcrop above th city of Athens. Where you can see the remains of several ancient buildings like the famous PARTHENON.

What a difference a decade makes. The arrival of the landmark Acropolis Museum and the pedestrian walkway linking the city’s ancient monuments has seen this historic neighbourhood emerge as one of Athens’ most fashionable postcodes.Take a picnic to Philopappou Hill to survey the urban scene and ancient ruins from a peaceful distance.

A must for first-time visitors in Athens! If you are visiting during summer, try to avoid the midday hours when it might be too hot to walk around on the hill!

Few sights in the world compare to Athens' Acropolis, with its Parthenon temple perched high on a rocky crag keeping watch over centuries of civilization. A reminder of the glory of ancient Athens, the Acropolis was the center of the ancient city and functioned as a citadel in its protected hilltop location.
