Areopagus Hill
Climb the exposed rock beside the Acropolis for a close-up view of the ancient citadel and the city below.
What to expect
About 300 metres west of the Acropolis, the exposed limestone outcrop gives a close view of the Parthenon and the city. Its name recalls the ancient court of Ares; Christian tradition also places the Apostle Paul's address to the Athenians here. The final approach is on smooth rock steps rather than a level plaza.
