From bustling city center, to nice nature hike amongst the trees. We climb the tallest peak of Athens and enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views that await us at the top! This tour is unique as most tour companies in Athens seem reluctant to take groups up Lycabettus Hill. This is great for us adventurous souls, who don't mind a bit of sweat, as we are rewarded with the unique stunning views, far from the crowd of the Acropolis and main tourist areas. Go beyond your comfort zone and you won't regret it!

Pass through the neighborhood of Kolonaki as the Split Rock as the bustling city suddenly becomes nature.
From bustling city center, to nice nature hike amongst the trees. We climb the tallest peak of Athens and enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views that await us at the top! Go beyond your comfort zone! Note: the walk is uphill and on some rugged terrain, so a good level of fitness is required.
On your way day via a different path, we reach the hidden spot known as "the balcony" which offers arguably the best Acropolis view in all of Athens.

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)
George was an amazing guide! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable! The hike was beautiful as well. Would recommend him and this tour to anyone!
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!
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!

Along the way, he shared lots of interesting information and gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. The view from the top was absolutely stunning and definitely worth the hike. We had such a fun time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens!
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.
