"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.

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

An amazing feast to the eyes. Acropolis is in the distance, standing majestically. There is a funicular that only takes 5min or for those who like the ascending weaving walk (750m) , it could be enjoyable.

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.

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.

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

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 .

A wonderful view of all of Athens. I recommend taking the cable car up and walking down. The path is very beautiful with another view of the Acropolis and Athens in general. Down the path there is a wine bar where you can stop. The best time to be at the lookout is at sunset. The cable car costs 9 euros for the ascent. Ascent and descent - 12 euros.
