Lycabettus Hill

A 277-metre limestone hill above Kolonaki, the highest point in central Athens, pine-planted on its lower slopes and topped by the 19th-century chapel of St George, a restaurant and a bar. A funicular runs up from Aristippou Street in a tunnel, so there is no view on the ride; the walking paths from Kolonaki take roughly 30-40 minutes. The open-air Lycabettus Theatre, closed since 2008, reopened in 2023 and hosts concerts from about May to October.
