Athens Panoramic Picnic

Athens is a contrast of old, new and ancient. Inside a beautiful neoclassical building you may find a café, a restaurant even a bar, all the while keeping sight of the Acropolis, the Agora or a n Early Byzantine church. Some places are very touristy and some not so much so. This is by far my favorite tour. A hidden gem, hiding in plain view. An archeological park, a woodland, a nature walk, all in one and, in the heart of Athens! Let's visit the Hill of the Muses or Philopappos Hill as it was later known. We will begin our adventure at the Acropolis metro station, and after a fifteen-minute walk we will find ourselves at the foot of the Philopappos Hill. The mound is full of little treasures. Setting foot on the path, we will take a trip through time and walk in the footsteps of Gods and philosophers. To boot, there are majestic views of the Acropolis, the Aegean Sea and practically the whole of Athens. This will be our picnic area. Then just for fun an Artisian and flea market.
