Supposedly Apostle Peter or Paul was up there preaching Christianity. Its a slippery walk up the rocks yet fun. Then again the steps would make more sense to walk up. More

Did not know much about this one, so great history to stumble across as well as great views. A top spot for photogarhing the Agora and sprawling Athens as well as the Acropolis on your left. Careful, the rock is very slippery. Well worth a visit More

This wasn't on our itinerary (and I really didn't even know about). We stumbled upon it after a walk back to our apartment. The views at night were AMAZING. Just know that there are two ways up...one is a rock staircase that is slippery! The other is a metal staircase to the left of the rock staircase. More
