Best Historical landmark in Greece

J	Jens Närger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Birthplace of western democracy. Must see in my humble opinion, it's in a very nice environment, great views included. Strangely not more popular with the tourist crowd, but then again it's not the famous acropolis. Strongest recommendation.
R	Robert Cooke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They say this is where democracy is born. Ignoring the history there are very nice views of Athens but the 2500 year history really adds to it. It is a good spot for sunset as well.
n	n sal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The milestone of the first democracy in the world. Pnuka is the place where democracy was born. Despite that, the hill offers a scenery and picturesque view not only of Parthenon but the whole city of Athens. But be extremely CAREFUL because there is extensive criminality especially at night.
F	Frank Vargas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Almost no one goes here, which is a great pity because it’s one of the most historically significant places in Athens. This was where the ancient Athenian assembly gathered. It’s where Themistocles convinced the city to fight the Persians at Salamis, where Pericles built the Delian League, where Nicias and Alcibiades debated the Sicilian Expedition, and where Demosthenes spoke against Phillip II of Macedon. Socrates even presided over the assembly here for one day — holding public office for the only time in his life — during a famous trial of generals during the Peloponnesian War. You can see the place where these men made their great speeches in the shadow of the Acropolis. The speakers’ platform is still there, carved directly into the bedrock.
R	Roman Vander on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't miss this ancient landmark, where Athens citizens assemblies were held some 2500 years ago. The views from this high location on Acropolis and old Athens are astonishing
K	Kasia Kryń on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I think this was most beautiful view of Acropol which I have seen so far. Entire Hill it's worth to see for places like Hill of muses, Socrates prison etc. There is no fee at all. Great place to spend sunny.
D	Dave T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The birthplace of democracy and assembly point for the ancient democrats. Not much left to see bar the speaking point pedestal, and a few outlines, of walls. The views of the western side of the acropolis from here simply are the best. You also have great views of the city from thissio over to lycabettus hill.
D	Dennis Wolf on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is amazing for a walk. You have a great view of the city, but with much less tourists compared to the lookout near the Acropolis.
