It is not an essential stop.
From up there there is a 360° view of Athens and you can spend some time since there is also a small bar/restaurant.
But BE CAREFUL because the funicular has some rather particular hours (it closes early in the afternoon)

Beautiful Views with Great Commentary!
What a great experience hiking up to the top of Lycabettus Hill with George! Views were breathtaking and George was great in providing interesting information along the way. He was so helpful in adding color commentary during our hike and answering any questions. The church and cafe at the top added a nice surprise after our ascent. So glad we made the last minute reservation for this experience and we had such a great guide in George!

Beautiful and invigorating hike
George has a real passion and excitement for authentic Greek experiences. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites and history. The views were amazing, and we got a chance to take photos wherever we needed. Hiking up and down Lycabettus gave us the full experience of the hill. George gave us lots of helpful recommendations for the rest of our vacation as well. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Athens!

Awesome Experience with breathtaking views
What a great experience! We went for a sunrise hill climb and it was amazing! George was a great tour guide and gave us plenty of local insight. Once we got to the top we took in the breathtaking views of Athens and watched the sun rise over the mountains. Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone all year round.
