Lykavittos Hill
-
Steep Lykavittos Hill juts high out of Kolonaki, and the church at its peak is visible for miles around. Every summer, the Lykavittos Festival hosts a variety of top musicians from around the world in the theatre close to the church; there’s nothing like watching Bob Dylan or Guru with the sun going down over Athens behind them (see Lykavittos Festival (Jun–Sep)). A smart caférestaurant nestles below the church. If you are very, very ambitious, walk up – otherwise, take the funicular from Aristipou.
