What to expect

Mount Lycabettus

Are you ready to explore Athens from above? Don’t worry, you won’t need to board a plane but instead enjoy a hike from one hill to the other with an expert guide to enjoy this tour.

Our friendly, professional mountain guide will walk with you through the city’s highlights whilst helping you to spot dramatic scenes that many visitors miss.

We will start our hike by climbing up Mount Lycabettus, also known as Lycabettos Hill. Standing 277 meters above sea level, Lycabettus Hill is the highest point of Athens. From the top (weather permitting) you can see as far afield as Aegina island! After all, the myth says that the hill was created by the Goddess of wisdom Athena.

We will move on to the hill of the Areopagus. The Areopagus is a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens. In classical times, this was the site of the Council of Nobles and the Judicial Court, which mainly dealt with homicide. From here, admire the ancient sights and especially the Ancient Agora, which is located just underneath it.
Plaka

Finally, we will make our way to the Hill of the Nymphs. This small hill about 100 meters in height, is located to the north point of the green area making up the south west area of the Acropolis
