Socrates Prison

Socrates prison on Fillopappou hill across Acropolis

Tradition and the writings of Plato and Xenophon lead to this cave where allegedly Socrates was kept condemned to death by hemlock.
There is also another cave bearing the same name and located in the park opposite to the chapel of Loubardiaris, just before the begging of the path that leads to the top of the hill of Filopappos.
Both caves have bars and are spacious enough to "accommodate" a person.

These two caves are not the only ones on the hill claiming

that are supposed to be Socrates prison, as the hill is full of such caves. And most of them have traces of human activity since ancient times.
