Dionysiou Areopagitou — Attraction in Athens

What a beautiful pedestrian street adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis. It's around 830 m long, starts at the corner of Vasilissis Amalias Avenue , near the temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian and continue west until it run into Apostolou Pavlou street, which will take you to the area called Thision. Dionysiou Areopagitou and Apostolou Pavlou are two pedestrian streets that connect to each other, creating one of the most beautiful paths you can walk in Athens. Almost at the beginning of the route and away from the noise of the city, on the left side is the Acropolis Museum and on your right you will have a great view of the Acropolis and Parthenon. On the opposite side of the Acropolis are some of the most imposing neoclassical residential buildings of the city .
