Athens walks
One of the most beautiful streets in Greece and, for lots of people, in Europe, is Dionisiou Areopagitou. Start from the Acropolis Metro station, and feel like walking on the paths of Socrates, right under the Acropolis. Climb up Pnyka, and imagine great politicians and retors like Themistocles andPericles would give speeches to the public of Athens, during the 5th and 4th centuries DC. Continue to Thiseion, or up to the Acropolis. This pedestrian street is an experience itself in the heart of Athens. You should not miss it. When the weather permits, book exhibitions and various expositions take place there.
