What to do and see in Filopappou, Attica: The Best Things to do
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Must visit and step on the same ground where Athenians assembly took place 2500years ago and see the stone speaker’s platform. Not many tourists know about this place, I learned all about it during the Hellas Revival democracy workshop. The place is calm and peaceful with an amazing view of Athens and Acropolis. I took wonderful photos. Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, and bring water with you.

See traditional Greek dances in this 800-seat garden theater.
Reviewed By DayTrip383398
A wonderful Greek culture experience...live music, traditional regional dances and beautiful traditional costumes in an open air theatre. Great value for the cost - 15 Euro. If you go, take the path through the park to get to the theatre...spectacular sunset views. Take an extra layer for the cool evening air and a flashlight for the walk back. Lovely to see and hear such passion and joyful smiles/energy from the dancers and musicians.
8. Panathenaic Way
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 54 reviews
A graveled road stretching from the stadium to the Acropolis, used for processions in ancient Greece.
Reviewed By permia
Probably the most important route way in Greek antiquity, it led from the Dipylon Gate to the Parthenon, passing through the Ancient Agora. A procession along it was the first event of the Panathenaic Festival and it culminated at the Temple of Athena on the Acropolis. During the Festival chariot races also took place along it.
9. Philopappos Monument

It was thrilling to visit this famous hill, which has fabulous vistas both upon and from it. Opposite the equally if not more famous hill of the Acropolis, it’s well worth the ascent. Outstanding is the richly well-preserved monument at its apogee that can be seen from afar. In grand Pentelic marble it honours a notable benefactor of Athens, who was a Prince of Upper Syria. After he died in 116 CE his sister and the Athenians created the mausoleum, which was a most impressive edifice. It was wonderful to arrive towards the end of the day, sit and enjoy the sun descending over the monument and city.
