DoAthensSouth of the Acropolis
Hala says
The pine-covered hill straight south of the Acropolis: paved paths through cypress and olive, a morning jogging route for the people who live here, and the best free view of the Parthenon there is, eye-level, with the Saronic Gulf behind it. The marble monument at the summit is a 2nd-century-AD Roman tomb. Come at sundown, bring water, budget 45 minutes round-trip.
