We have been to several spots that have great view of the Acropolis and I’d say that the Pnyx is my favorite spot. For one, it’s really easy to get too, it’s a comfortable walk. The view is spectacular and when we went there it, there’s no crowd. History buffs will love this place too because it’s more than just the view it offers. Plenty of significant event took place here that it is said to be the seat of democracy.

Outstanding place for a moment of quiet in an olive grove with fantastic views of Athens and the Acropolis. Easy walk uphill, water fountain near the top. Free access, near an unused observatory. Remains of Πνυχ described and explained. Highly recommend as a spot for a bit of contemplation and relative solitude. Picnicking not allowed. Dogs OK on leash.

Great view of Athens! Visited in the morning and at night. Nice walk through the forest paths can lead to several great spots to take photos of Acropolis and Athens. There is a monument on the top of the hill and spectacular view, especially at night. There are benches to sit on along the way. And most paths are either paved or marked.

Again this year, we did all the 42km of the Authentic Marathon, with the MDA Hellas! The route was passing through all these beautiful and ancient neighborhoods! Oh, I hope you, readers, to experience that some time!

Excellent place to watch the Athens especially the Acropolis. The routes are organized and various. You can easily walk to the top in around 15 to 20 min. Free entrance. Highly recommend it!!!

Comme c'est émouvant de visiter ce site historique, berceau de la démocratie. Sur cette magnifique colline qui domine Athènes, l'imagination nous transporte vers les rassemblements de l'Ecclésia, où des milliers de citoyens débattaient avec passion des lois et décisions cruciales pour leur cité. Leurs voix résonnaient sous le regard majestueux du panorama d'Athènes et de la mer Égée, symbolisant le lien profond entre l'homme, la nature, et son destin.
