Lycabettus Hill and the funicular

At 277 m this is the highest point in central Athens, topped by the 19th-century chapel of St George, an open-air theatre and a restaurant. The funicular's lower terminus is at the top of Aristippou Street in Kolonaki (not on the hill itself); 2026 sources give €10 one way and €13 return, though older listings say €7/€10, so check at the kiosk. In August 2026 the hill was closed outright to visitors and vehicles on days when Attica hit the highest civil-protection fire-risk category.
