Athens: Relaxing walk through Filopappou hill
I have visited Athens twice so far – in November 2008 and in February 2017. And will gladly return anytime. The city centre is a gigantic historical open-air museum with some monuments dating back more than 2500 years. The food is delicious, people are nice and friendly, the sun is shining most of the time and there is always something new to discover. Filopappou hill with a monument at the top is just opposite Acropolis. The hill is a nice park to walk around. You can find there also a prison of Socrates, a Shrine of the Muses, Agios Dimitrios Loumbardiaris church and ruins of an ancient amphitheater, a meeting place of democratic assembly until 5th century BC.
Oproti kopcu Acropolis sa týči ďalší – Filipappou. Z vrcholu je krásny výhľad na mesto, je tam aj monument a pod vrcholom nájdete aj Sokratovu väznicu, Svätyňu múz, kostolík Agios Dimitrios Loumbardiaris a ešte o niečo nižšie aj vykopávky starého amfiteátra, kde sa konali demokratické zasadania až do 5 storočia pred naším letopočtom.
