Athens See & Do Guide: Areopagus

Areopagus

Sightseeing - Historic Sites
Athens, Greece

This low hill, named for the war god Ares, is near the Acropolis. It was the site of the supreme court of ancient Greece, where St. Paul addressed the Athenians in AD 51. It's not much to look at now: As you come down from the Acropolis, turn right at the ticket booth. After approximately 150 ft/45 m, you will reach the slippery steps carved into the rock that will take you to the top of the hill.
