Things to Do in Makrygianni, Athens

An elegant Acropolis-side quarter south of Dionysiou Areopagitou, where neoclassical houses and apartment hotels climb toward the ancient rock. The Acropolis Museum is the modern anchor, while the Weiler Building, small tavernas, and pedestrian streets lead directly to the Theatre of Dionysus and the marble pathways around Philopappos Hill.
