Lycabettus Hill

Lycabettus Hill, at 277 meters (908 feet) above sea level, is the highest point in Athens and offers a stunning panoramic view of the Greek capital. This limestone hill rises abruptly from the surrounding urban landscape. You can reach the summit either by a challenging hike up winding pathways or by taking the funicular railway.
