What I can see

The peripheral road of the greater part of Philopappos Hill, from Koukaki to Thissio areas, is understood as what the Athenians call Peripheral of Philopappos Hill. From Mouson Street in Koukaki, to Arakynthou Street, at the parking lot of the Dora Stratou Theatre, there is sidewalk only on one side of the street and it is quite narrow. However, the pedestrian passes by some of the most expensive residences in the city. From the middle of Arakynthou Street to Thissio, the sidewalks are two and wider, while vehicle traffic is milder. This section attracts more Athenians to walk or jog. It is a quiet area, with some beautiful views, next to green spaces, old stone-built houses of Ano Petralona and some listed houses of Thissio.

What I can't see

The entire Peripheral of Philopappos Hill is approximately 2km long and includes uphill and downhill sections. The section that Athenians prefer for their exercise is about 800m long.
