"At 300 meters, Mount Lycabettus is the highest peak in Athens. Every half an hour a funicular whizzes up to the summit. Among other attractions, there’s a restaurant with sky-high prices and views to match. On a clear day, you can see the island of Aegina shimmering on the horizon. The tiny chapel of St. George is a magical place to watch the sunrise (especially on Sundays, when the church service starts at 7:30 a.m.) or sunset."

It’s a little bit of a trek to get up to the top but once you do the views are priceless. The hike from the bottom was about 45 minutes with a few short breaks. It’s definitely doable but be sure to bring some water along if it’s a hot day to stay hydrated. There is a little cafe at the top to grab some drinks and snacks once you get there to refuel for the way down. It was a bit of a mission but was quite an experience to say the least.

Such a beautiful place mount Lycabettus is with breathtaking views during the day or night. I noticed that a lot of people go there as it is so popular for both locals and tourists. There are plenty of parking spaces at no charge.

Loved it, as there were no crowds and I had a lovely view of Athens and Acropolis. It was also very windy. :))

I hiked all the way to the top, about 45 minutes and it was worth it. The view at the top of Athens, Piraeus and the islands was breath taking. And the restaurant at the top was fantastic and food was excellent. I would definitely go back.

Great view and worth the travel You can experience and view a true act of unconditional love from this vantage point. Centuries ago, there is a boyfriend and girlfriend. The boyfriend loved his girlfriend so much that he carved a heart out of the side of a mountain to show the world. The love he had for this woman. Priceless

Took the funicular up and walked down. Great scenic views and was not crowded when we went. Used google maps to walk there , pleased we did or would never have found it. Stunning small church on top. Nice bar to have a drink with views. Pricey . Enjoyed the walk down too .

Amazing Sunset here on top of the mountains, but the crowds there are too much can't really find a spot to take good photos, have to hike around 20-30min from the bottom , there is a restaurant OM the top as well

View is definitely amazing during sunset, I recommend taking funicular which costs around 12 euros both ways (up and down). It is a bit crowded in the evening, but it is worth to visit to see capital Athens from above.
