Kolonaki/Lykavittos Hill

This hill juts a steep 984 feet (300m) right up from the centre of the city, and is a great vantage point from which to take in the scope of Athens. The St. George chapel and Lykavittos Theatre perch atop this hill, which can be reached by car, cable car or a healthy hike! The cable car departs every 30 minutes, from the corners of Aristippou and Ploutarchou Streets in Kolonaki.

Opening time: The funicular runs Friday to Wednesday 8.45am to midnight, and Thursday 10.30am to midnight
