Areios Pagos

  Areios Pagos, commonly known as the Areopagus, lies near the Acropolis in Athens. Historically significant as the site where the Athenian court convened, this rocky outcrop offers visitors a glimpse into ancient justice. The Areopagus, which is approximately 70 meters high, serves primarily as a viewing point and a spot for reflections on history. In July, sunsets from this vantage point can be particularly striking, casting a warm glow over the city. Visitors can climb the rocky terrain to enjoy panoramic views of the Parthenon and the bustling city below, all while soaking in the remnants of Athenian democracy.
