Standing 277 meters above sea level, Mount Lycabettus (sometimes spelt Lykavitos) is the highest point of Athens and boasts the most breathtaking and panoramic views of the city and its surrounds. Although a beautiful walk up via a circular path, it will be a test of endurance and a challenge in summer - perhaps May and September/October are the best months to experience this.
The hill is a tourist destination and can also be ascended by the Lycabettus Funicular, a funicular railway which climbs the hill from a lower terminus at Kolonaki (The railway station can be found at Aristippou street). At its two peaks are the 19th century Chapel of St. George, a theatre, and a restaurant.
