About Lycabettus Hill

The highest point in Athens — a 277-meter limestone peak topped with a 19th-century chapel offering a 360° panoramic view of the entire city, the Acropolis, Piraeus port, and the Saronic Gulf. Take the funicular or hike up through the pine forest. The sunset view is the finest in Athens.
