"Walked up from the centre of Athens. An expensive hill - 20 Euro to get in. I unsuccessfully argued that they should give me a discount until it was repaired. But actually not sure it should be. The renovation works meant some of the Parthenon was obscured and you could see it from inside, which would have been impressive. Great views though. Lots of tourists, so probably the busiest hill I have ever visited." — vygodski • Jun 30, 2023

"Hot day to ascend to the Acropolis of Athens, we went up stopping to see the Theater of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herod looking for the shade of some olive trees. Near the main access stairway to the Acropolis we find that many people have thought the same as us and we wait in a long queue that moves forward with some agility. The marble that we step on is polished due to the footsteps of millions of people who climb this mountain every year, so care must be taken. The hat is essential because there is no shadow at the top except the one projected by the Parthenon. Incredible and beautiful this place." — franciscobirruezo • Sep 29, 2022

"An interesting and historic mountain. Took the trail up from the city streets to the top, and back a slightly different route - there are many diverging trails so try not to get lost. Overall rating 7/10, a beautiful view of Athens and the Acropolis and a beautiful church and restaurants at the summit" — MountainQuest • Jul 3, 2022

"That was my long term running goal for training for a big expedition in the Alps on August! Killed my legs but I am very satisfied with the outcome! 16km continuous uphill running with 863m elevation gain in 1h58m!" — Christos • Jun 24, 2018

"I and a friend went up for a morning walk to Mount Aigaleo recently. We went up from Chaidari, traversed the mountain, and ended back down at Schisto Camp. A very pleasant trip to do in a short time from Athens. Complete Trip Report and Photos: http://www.variouscuriousstuff.com/2017/04/23/hiking-mount-aigaleo-athens/" — DimitriosFan • Jun 14, 2017
