Areopagus Hill

Wow, we visited the site where the Areopagite Council met (also a court for certain cases) and where the Apostle Paul gave his famous sermon in Athens about their unknown God. It is just to the left of the path to the Acropolis and should not be missed. Beautiful view and location. Be aware of your footing as the hill is worn and slick.

This place is beautiful and offers an amazing view of the city. There is no cost to enter. You can see the Acropolis behind you. In front you see Hadriens Library and the Agora Market. Sunset is amazing from here. There are metal stairs to reach the rock. Rocks are at multiple levels so easy to find a spot to enjoy the view or watch the sunset. Rocks are very uneven and some spots are slippery because the stone is worn so smooth. Shoes with good tread are best.

Sunrise not busy. Amazing views of Acropolis and Athens. Smooth rocks are slippery, wear good hiking shoes

The best view of Athens, especially stunning at sunset. Perfect spot for amazing photos, plenty of people but still enough space for everyone. A truly Instagrammable place!

This is a stunning place, especially at sunset, with gorgeous views of the city. Access is free, but the way to climb up is very rocky and uneven. The atmosphere was amazing in August; everyone was spending time with friends and family and having a good time :) . If you’re here in the summer, it will be too hot to go here in the afternoon, so go here in the morning or evening. Areopagus Hill is right next to the acropolis.

Areopagus Hill is a must-visit when you’re near the Acropolis. The climb is short, and from the top you get one of the best views of the Parthenon, Athens cityscape, and the sunset. It’s a popular spot but still feels peaceful, especially in the evening. The rocks can be slippery, so wear good shoes. Bring a drink or snack and enjoy the view — it’s one of the best free experiences in Athens.

Right beside the Acropolis, Areopagus or Mars Hill is 115 metro high rocky hill where the Apostle Paul preached & debated with the people of Athens during the Roman period in the qst century AD. It can get busy up there, but is worth visiting if you're a Christian or history buff. Its also a great place to watch the sunset.

Areopagus hill is a perfect spot to watch the sunset, it has a perfect view of the Acropolis as well, and is known as a popular first date spot amongst locals. The hill is quite slippery so wear comfortable shoes.
