Strefi Hill, Urban natural park in Exarcheia, Athens, Greece.
Located between Exarcheia and Neapoli districts, this 140-meter hill features stone pathways, benches, and native Mediterranean vegetation on its slopes.
The hill, originally named Anchesmos, belonged to the Strefi family until 1914 when it was transferred to the Greek state and later to Athens Municipality.
The outdoor theater at the summit hosts performances throughout summer, while basketball courts and recreational areas serve as neighborhood gathering points.
The park includes multiple access points from Emmanouil Benaki Street, with paved trails leading to observation points overlooking central Athens.
Former limestone quarry operations in the 19th century shaped the current terrain, leading to extensive reforestation initiatives during the 1920s.
