For those who dare to go a bit uphill, you will enjoy maybe the most beautiful 360° view of Athens and a great view of the Parthenon!
It was built by Athenians in the 2nd century BC in honour of the benefactor, Gaius Julius Antiochus - he was also known as Philopappus, which roughly translated means “one who loves his grandfather.”
Tremendous views of all of Athens from this hill make the climb extremely worth it.
Dedicated to Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philopappos, a prince from the Kingdom of Commagene. (Now Armenia)
Built in 114AD to honour Julius Filopappos, a prominent Roman consul.
Was pretty cool, and best place for sunset
Great view of the Acropolis from here.
Great hike with 360 degree view of Athens
If the weather is clear sky, is worth walk up there
Nice views from the top.
Excellent view
Memorable sunsets and stunning views !
