About this experience
From bustling city center, to nice nature hike amongst the trees. We climb the tallest peak of Athens and enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views that await us at the top! This tour is unique as most tour companies in Athens seem reluctant to take groups up Lycabettus Hill. This is great for us adventurous souls, who don't mind a bit of sweat, as we are rewarded with the unique stunning views, far from the crowd of the Acropolis and main tourist areas. Go beyond your comfort zone and you won't regret it!

Mount Lycabettus Funicular
It is not an essential stop. From up there there is a 360° view of Athens and you can spend some time since there is also a small bar/restaurant. But BE CAREFUL because the funicular has some rather particular hours (it closes early in the afternoon)

Beautiful Views with Great Commentary!
What a great experience hiking up to the top of Lycabettus Hill with George! Views were breathtaking and George was great in providing interesting information along the way. He was so helpful in adding color commentary during our hike and answering any questions. The church and cafe at the top added a nice surprise after our ascent. So glad we made the last minute reservation for this experience and we had such a great guide in George!

Beautiful and invigorating hike
George has a real passion and excitement for authentic Greek experiences. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites and history. The views were amazing, and we got a chance to take photos wherever we needed. Hiking up and down Lycabettus gave us the full experience of the hill. George gave us lots of helpful recommendations for the rest of our vacation as well. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Athens!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Conquering Mount Lycabettus!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Conquering Mount Lycabettus! cost?
+
Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Conquering Mount Lycabettus! take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Conquering Mount Lycabettus! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Conquering Mount Lycabettus!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Conquering Mount Lycabettus! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Conquering Mount Lycabettus!?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Conquering Mount Lycabettus! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
