The Pnyx is a hill in central Athens (the capital of Greece) facing the Acropolis. As early as 507 B.C. Athenians would gather in their popular assemblies forging the future of the city of Athens. It is one of the best vantage points to admire the Acropolis and take some wonderful pictures. The surrounding area is very green, and is the perfect place to take a breather after having been to the nearby archaeological site(s). It is in its way quite awe inspiring as you imagine the Athenians debating in front of thousands of their fellow citizens creating the first democratic process.
