En route to Mount Lycabettus

It was not a very difficult hike to the mount. We can see Acropolis from here





Finally, we reached the top- Church of Agios Georgios - a very tiny Greek Orthodox Church




Breathtaking views of the whole city at the top!

One can take the funicular if one does not want to walk up.
