Philopappou Hill — the quiet path up
Take the pine path, not the marble one — 15 unhurried minutes, and you arrive exactly as golden hour hits the Parthenon across the valley. The locals' benches are on the north ledge; the tourists cluster 200m east, and you won't.
meet at: Dimitriou Aiginitou entrance, Thissio
