Athens Mountains & Nature - Located in the heart of Athens, Lykabettus Hill, also known as Likavitos, offers breathtaking views of the city and its ancient attractions, including the nearby Acropolis of Greece. According to legend, the goddess Athena carried her burden on the palm of the Acropolis hill until it was intercepted by a raven bringing bad news. This caused the goddess to drop her burden, resulting in the blackening of all crows due to her wrath. Today, visitors can climb the long staircase or take a cable car, available for a nominal fee, to reach the top of the hill. There, they will find the stunning church of St. George and an open-air amphitheatre at a slight distance. Experience the beauty and history of Lykabettus Hill in Athens, Greece.
