A maze of paths winds lazily to the top and is well-shaded - ideal for coping with the blistering August heat. Most people come here for the views of the Acropolis opposite and southern Athens stretching to the sea, but you'll come across many more historic sights on your travels.

Highlights include the cave where Socrates was imprisoned, the Pnyx, a limestone theatre carved into the hillside, and the birthplace of Athenian democracy, and the Neo-Classical Old Observatory.

If you have time, make sure you catch a performance of traditional Greek dance at the Dora Stratou Dance Theatre, and a enjoy a coffee at the Loumbardiaris cafe.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22327 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/285 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/285 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/271 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/271
