Lycabettus viewing area is probably one of the best spots in Athens to get a of the whole city! Is such a beautiful sight from the top of this and it is a nice little up and down! You have the option of taking the train up and down the if you cannot it Herrlicher Blick auf viele Sehenswürdigkeiten von Athen und bis nach Piräus. Der anstrengende Aufstieg ist das Erlebnis wert. Quite possibly some of the best of Athens are from up here. Well worth the visit if you can fit it within your schedule. Completely worth the view. I climbed to the top without the furnicular. The best way to climb is through the stairs form the west side of Lycabettus Hill. I climbed from the east side next to the car road which is very long. A beautiful spot on top of the with the best of all of Athens. The Acropolis in the distance was awesome to see. I wish I had a longer zoom on my camera to get a better close up view. It really gives you a perspective of how huge Athens actually is. It was our first time up here in Athens even after so many holidays in Athens in our past. My wife definitely did her homework. With places to check out. way to off and burn some of the amazing Greek food. We took the trail and it took around 20 min of climbing. Well worth it. There are a few cafes upstairs. Amazingly water was only 1 euro. are great, but be ready for a lot of other tourists. I have been up here a couple of times and you get an amazing of the and it doesn't really take that long to get to the top. On the way up you also pass a restaurant where you can get a refreshing drink on your way up or on the way down. I would highly recommend going up here just to enjoy the of the center, Acropolis etc. Beautiful views. I hiked up the paths to this hill. It's doable but bring water on a hot day! The from this hilltop are amazing! This is a place every visitor should see. The up may seem tough but it's actually not that hard, so don't be afraid to give it a try. Took me around 20 mins to slowly uphill to the peak. There's a cable car for 12€, but I still recommend walking up and taking the along the way if you're up for it. The are absolutely gorgeous on a clear day, you will be able to take in the of the entire Athens and Piraeus. The Acropolis will seem tiny from up here, and will require a better camera or phone to capture it. I came up an hour before and waited for it. You can get better with less crowds by sitting in the pathways leading to the peak. Don't forget to get something to drink and enjoy the sunset! You can choose to go up the by cable car or stairs. We went up by cable car. There is a small cafe at the top. It is possible to find a free toilet. The whole is under your feet. It is very crowded at sunset. The is a normal view. It is a place to go and see, but it is not enjoyable. Athens is a very special and beautiful city. This was the weakest place among the places we saw. over Athens and extraordinary sunset. However its very crowdy and teleferic queue was 60 minutes. Nice little up to a wonderful panoramic of Athens. Easy up for an average person. There is a nice little church at the summit and you can go in but no taking photos inside allowed! of Athens Super views! Definitely place to go if you are in Athens to get breathtaking experience and to the Acropolis and city. Recommended to come for of the and most of its iconic ruins can be seen from here. Cable car up and down can pay using credit card. Restaurant and cafe available. Busy but you’ll get a chance to take your pictures and admire the views. Very chilled vibe. Sehr schöner Ort hier. Lohnt sich absolut , der Weg nach oben ist schon anstrengend aber machbar place to see Athene. You really don’t need to take a funicular if you don’t have any problem about 20 minutes hiking. The path is easy and walkable. The is good so it is worth to do little hiking! The top gets VERY busy at sunset. The cable car is expensive and it's cheaper to get a taxi up the especially if there is more than 2 of you. Easy down. were stunning! Probably the nicest in Athens with probably the nicest of Acropol against the sea. Very picturesque. There is a cafeteria / cocktail bar near the top and a restaurant at the top. And a small 18th century chapel of Agios Georgios Lycabettus with some frescoes inside at the very top. We didn't visit the restaurant. We sat at the cocktail bar and we had a few glasses of wine because the place has a as it's located on the Acropol side of the hill. They say it's magical, they say it's romantic - maybe it is. Definitely it's worth a stroll. Choose a weather with nice 15% cloudiness and preferably the golden hour for the best shots. This place is quite tall, so be prepared to around 30 mins. When you approach the top, you will see cafes densely located, they create an illusion that you have to order something at this cafes to see the view. Do not fall into this, there is path to the top though cafes, where you will find amazing view... and dozilion of tourists, especially during time. Do not expect romantic sunset, some random people will keep rubbing themselves to you. This was one of my favorite things that I did in Athens was come here. is amazing and it does get crowded. I suggest arriving early for a spot. on all Athens with a little to climb on top of the I recommend Catch this place at sunrise, give yourself 20 mins to get up it and watch one of the best of the of Athens. As the sun comes over the hills it lights up the and it’s really an amazing view. It costs nothing to go up but you have to park your car way down below and up. There is a restaurant there which I’m sure is nice for the evening, but at sunrise it’s closed. Take a sweater as it’s going to be cold. A unique spot giving the stroller an incredible on the city. They are differents ways up the with stairs and no stairs. The neighborhood around, Konolaki, is calm and disconnecting. We went there before sunset,just like everyone else. It really shows you all of the Athens. We used the round trip funicular,but i think you can easily on return. Go early in advence,because it gets too crowded and there's no much place on the top unfortunaetly. Piękny widok dookoła na Ateny. It's so beautiful, especially during sunset. It's very magical to see Athens at night. The is also quite pleasant The highest peak in Athens provides the best of the and a opportunity for a short up to the summit. It took us 40 minutes walking to get all the way to the top from our hotel in Plaka. Going down we took the funicular, which was a very retro experience :) I truly recommend going up there on a clear day, admiring the and sipping a cup of coffee at the top. Très sympa, on l'a fait à l'ouverture du téléphérique (que je ne recommande pas si vous avez une bonne condition physique) donc peu de monde Went there around 8am - the cable tram wasn’t open yet so I climbed a bit on foot. Turns out the zigzag path right next to the tram station has the best views! of the acropolis and Athens. Beautiful sunset. We got there about an hour before and there were already quite a few people there. The top was very crowded by 30 minutes before sunset. There are a few places along the way up that offer more quaint locations with fewer people. The cafe halfway up is very cozy and has drink options. No ticket is required. At the flag is formally taken down with a neat little ceremony. Walked up here on our last night in Athens and so glad we did. Wasn’t too busy for a Sunday. You can see the entire from up here and a of the Acropolis—an excellent perspective of Athens. I’d recommend visiting in the evening when it’s cooler and possibly to catch the sunset. You can see the whole including acropolis and many other spots from this hill. Walking up takes about 15-20 minutes and isn't too hard. There is a church and a flag post at the viewing terrace. It gets quite busy so if you want to have a good spot to the it's better to go a little earlier. There are many restaurants on the top but of course they are all overpriced, so we didn't go there.
