Climb Filopappou Hill to reach St Demetrios Loumbardiaris, a quiet whitewashed church among the trees. Walk the lit paths, step inside if it is open, and look out over the whole of Athens.

📖

Full description

Agios Dimitrios Loumbardiaris is a modest, whitewashed church on Filopappou Hill, on the path between the Acropolis area and Pnyx Hill. Its setting among pines and green slopes makes it one of the more picturesque churches in the city, and reviewers describe the surrounding walk as a calm break from central Athens.

The paths are lit, local residents walk their dogs here, and the hill offers wide views over the rooftops. The church itself is small and visited briefly, so the appeal lies in combining it with an unhurried stroll on the hill.

Reviews

Complete Walking Complex with Lit Paths The walk is very pleasant – I did it at night and it was delightful. Countless locals walk their dogs here. Offers views over the entire city of Athens – beautiful at night, plus another angle on the Acropolis complex.
