Filopáppou Hill, 147 m. high, was known in ancient Greece as the Hill of the Muses. It is located in a very central point of the city (metro station Thissio or Acropolis), to the southwest of the Acropolis. You can only reach the top on foot. Enjoy a great view of the Acropolis, a panoramic view of the whole city, and the Aegean Sea surrounding Attica. A paved path starts from Filopáppou and leads to the Pnyx Hill, where the great orators of the antiquity, like Pericles, Demosthenes and Aristides, delivered powerful political speeches. On the far side of the hill, the Dora Stratou Theatre hosts folklore dancing performances. Close to the hill, you will also find the National Observatory, an astronomy and seismology scientific institute, as well as the church of Saint Marina.
