Lycabettus hill is in the center of Athens, just above the elegant neighborhood of Kolonaki.

It is one of the highest points of the city at an altitude of 277 meters. At the top of Lycabettus is the church of Agios Georgios and from its courtyard you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire Athens. It is said that the hill got its name from the wolves that used to live there in the past.

You can get to Lycabettus either by the teleferic which begins in Plutarchou Street in Kolonaki, or on foot if you feel like it and you have very good physical condition.

At the top of the hill of Lycabettus there is an open theater, where top Greek and foreign artists have appeared in the past, including Scorpions, Bob Dylan, B.B King, Vanessa Mae and dozens of others. In Lycabettus you will also find an excellent restaurant with delicious meals and views across the city.

Athens seen from Lycabettus Hill is a must-see, especially at night.
