**This is the perfect spot to have a picnic lunch! It is a very mild hike that should be very easy unless you have mobility issues. ** If the weather is bad, have lunch at Black Sheep Restaurant.
Philopappos Hill is located in the heart of Athens and offers spectacular views of the Acropolis and Parthenon. It is an ideal place for relaxation, with its cobblestone alleys surrounded by pines and olive trees, as well as its selection of historic monuments.
Visitors can also explore the Philopappos Monument, the Mercantile Boulevard, Koili Odos Street, and the Iroon Mousaiou. The view from the top of the hill is one of the best in the city and is a great way to catch a breath-taking sunset.
Furthermore, it has become a popular destination for sport climbers who come to practice their skills amid the stunning sights of the Greek capital.
