7Catch the Sunset from Lycabettus Hill

For the best panoramic views of Athens, hike or take the funicular to the top of Lycabettus Hill. From here, you can see the Acropolis, the Aegean Sea, and even the distant Peloponnesian mountains.

The best time to visit is at sunset when the city is bathed in golden hues. There’s also a charming chapel, Agios Georgios, and a café where you can enjoy a drink with a view.
