Standing at 277 meters, Lycabettus Hill is the highest point in Athens, offering an unbeatable panoramic view of the entire city. From here, you can see the Acropolis, the Aegean Sea, and even the Peloponnese on a clear day.

The most popular way up is the Lycabettus Funicular, a cable car that takes you to the top in just a few minutes. But if you’re up for it, the hiking trails winding through the pine forests offer a more scenic and rewarding climb.

For an unforgettable experience, visit Skyfall Athens, a rooftop cocktail bar with breathtaking views of the Acropolis. Go for sunset and order a signature cocktail. It’s one of the best places to watch the city light up at night.

Lycabettus Hill is located in Kolonaki, Central Athens. To get there, take Metro Line 3 to Evangelismos Station. From the station, it’s a 15-minute uphill walk through the neighborhood to the base funicular station, which takes you to one of the most famous and scenic parks in Athens.
