The Heights of Athens
Eleni was very knowledgeable and had some great insights into Athens and the history of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The view from the mountain was breathtaking.
S
Good view but too hot and too much work
We were tired and it was hot and we didn't end up enjoying the overall idea or experience mostly due to that. The guide was knowledgeable but was a bit informal compared to our other experiences. Basically we just had too much heat and were exhausted.
Operator response
We are really sorry that the heat didn't allowed you to have a really enjoyable experience and reviewing us with 3 stars because of that Thank you for your good words for our certified guide, who certainly is one of the most knowleageable of our guides and we believe that she did the best to have a great experience and learn more about Athens

Lycabettus and clouds
Beautiful view of the city, good restaurant, tiring climb up to the funicular but as soon as you reach the top together with the church you can enjoy a beautiful panorama. Recommended to go there in the evening.

Great view & great exercise option
Amazing view. We were there for sunset and was crowded, as expected. Was not easy to find the fanicular car. A nice workout to get to the base of the hill. Worth the effort & a to do while visiting Athens
