Lykavittos Hill at sunset

The highest point in central Athens (277 m), a pine-covered limestone hill that rises straight out of Kolonaki. Take the funicular from Aristippou Street (€13 return, €10 one-way), or walk the hairpin path from the base in 25 minutes. The summit holds a small whitewashed chapel (Agios Georgios), the open-air theatre (summer concerts), and a 360° view of the Acropolis below you and the Saronic Gulf beyond. Time it for sunset, and stay for the city lights.
