- The hill southwest of the Acropolis; climb from the end of Dionysiou Areopagitou
A marble path climbs about fifteen minutes through pines, and then the Acropolis hangs right in front of you. People settle on the big marble lookout or on the slope by the Philopappos Monument. After sunset the Parthenon lights come on and the city glows beneath. No ticket, no closing time.
