Mount Lycabettus Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Lycabettus, about 300 meters above sea level, is the commanding height of Athens and can be seen from almost every place in Athens. The top of Lycabettus Hill has a wide view and is a good place to overlook the panoramic view of the city of Athens and enjoy the sunset. When the weather is clear, you can also overlook the port of Peres in the western suburbs of Athens and the Gulf of Saronicus. There is a theatre on the hill, an all-white stone church - St George's Rock Church and some restaurants with a view. You can choose to walk to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, or recommend the way to take the cable car.

Mount Lucavedos is also a very beautiful and good place, the whole mountain top structure is also relatively unique, here you can also see a lot of facilities, the fun content of the mountain top is also a variety of unique structures.
⛰ There is a small Tubao Mountain opposite the Acropolis, more than 270 meters above sea level, which is the highest point of Athens. The mountain is called Lucavedos Mountain, and it also has an atmospheric abbreviation called "Wolf Mountain". Up this mountain, you can see the whole view of Athens City. But many people have already overlooked the city from the Acropolis' viewing platform, which is perhaps why most tourists have dispelled the idea of going to the Langshan Observation Deck, which is why I highly recommend it. The viewing platform of Langshan is much more lovely than the Acropolis viewing platform. There is no crowding, and there is no need to wait for the couple in front of the station to get tired before the position in front of the railing is vacated. And most importantly: it provides invincible night views, and the Acropolis will close the door at 7 pm. 🚶🏻♂️ The route to Langshan is very simple. Take the subway to the nearest station to Langshan. Walk along the block that keeps going uphill for 20 minutes to the cable car on Aristipou Street under the mountain. The block is very quiet, the road is clean and tidy, and because it is all the way uphill, Looking forward, there is a sense of vision in the dream space. At the cable car station, the cable car up the mountain passes through a cave and it takes 5 minutes to reach the top of the mountain, and the fare is 7 euros. 🌅 The scenery of Langshan is really beautiful. Looking at the distance is the sea of love, which made me almost forget that Athens is also a seaside city. When we first went up the mountain, the sky was still blue and the sunset was not set. You can see the city view of Athens and the sea in the distance. Wait until sunset, the sunset point is after the mountains in the distance, even if you can't see the sun, the rose-colored sunset still gives the city of Athens a warm gold layer at the beginning of the lights, quietly leaning on the railings, watching the city at your feet slowly light up, Looking at the vast earth blessed by God in the times of the gods, without lamenting, the Aegean Sea is still there, Crete is still there, but the Greek civilization that once was glorious here has no longer looked. Only the sudden pillars and ruined walls on the Acropolis speak in silence of all that was once made here.
You can see the whole city of Athens from up there. The view is stunning and it will leave you with the best experience.
Take the time to walk up of you are able. It's not as hard as it looks and there's a clear path! It makes the reward so much sweeter. Up top there's a cafe, bar or take away place so you don't have to be allFancy if you don't want to. I went at night and the night time view of Athens was gorgeous from this vantage point!
The ride up Mount Likavitos on the cable-car railway (teleferique) is often a hit with kids. It operates every 20 minutes in summer (7€ round-trip).
A special momumental hill-the landmark of Athens, along with the Parthenon.It is great for ascending, relaxing, taking deep breaths and enjoy the city from really above.
It is a Hill with a little church on top where you have a great view of the whole city of Athens. Great place to visit, do not miss it.
