3 stops · 25 min · 545 m
A short traverse over the hills west of the Acropolis, about half an hour and free: the quarried hillside where the Athenian Assembly met and an astronomer watched the sun, a quiet hill named by a line cut in its rock, and the observatory the new Greek state put where the oldest one had been.
