visual recap of Athens
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/25/08
This trip up the hill in Athens is well worth it and should be part of anyone's itinerary! The cable car was nice (for those of us who don't want to hike) and the view was fantastic. You can really get a feel for how HUGE Athens is, sprawling out into the distance (similar to Los Angeles actually). 360-degree views to the mountains & ...

fantastic

Loved the place, When we went up we did a tour of the small church (St George) before going to the restaurant (I am not sure I think its called HORIZONS) fantastic food and evening. The only disappointment was that they did not play any greek music for the background as I was entertaining foreign guests who wanted to listen to it.
Anyway overall the whole experience was excellent. Would go again without giving it a second thought.
The best view of Athens. You can climb or take a cab from Paraka to the top (10euro) and walk down. The walk down is easy. The views are breathtaking. Take a Zoom with the camera and you will get amazing pictures of the Acropolis
went at dusk, so we had to take the cable car to the top. two words: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. everything from the cable car (my first experience) to the view, to the church at the top. Would have liked to dine at the top but it wasn't in our price range, and we were content with the view. Caution, was windy (we went in march), bring an extra something to throw over yourself, but shouldnt be a problem in the warmer months.
I can see Athina very best and Lykavittos is to best forme of can see all Athina. My God! Beautiful Athina!

Amazing view

Lykavittos Hill is amazing. I suggest visiting it in the evening around sunset. Not only is the view incredible, but you can enjoy a nice dinner at sunset. It is not too terribly expensive, but you do have to pay to ride a cable car to the top (I think it was about 3 euro). It is definitely worth your time!
