Why we love it?

This guided hike takes you from the lively streets of Athens through the upscale neighborhood of Kolonaki and past the natural landmark known as Split Rock, leading up to Lycabettus Hill, the tallest peak in the city. The route combines urban scenery with a nature walk among trees, offering a moderately challenging uphill trek on some rugged terrain, suitable for travelers with a good level of fitness. At the summit, you’ll experience expansive 360-degree views of Athens, including a unique vantage point called "the balcony," which provides one of the best perspectives of the Acropolis away from the usual crowds. This tour is ideal for those who want to explore beyond the typical tourist paths and enjoy a quieter, more active way to see the city’s landscape.
