Witness the Acropolis glow under the rising sun.

5.00There is something magical and breathtaking when you witness the Acropolis glow under the rising sun. It may sound crazy waking up at 4.30am whilst on holidays, but you will rewarded with this magical view. George is a wonderful and easy going guide who loves this city and is eager to share it. Don't even think about it. Just do it!!
A spectacular experience!...

5.00A spectacular experience! Thank you so much to George for the whole experience. We hiked up Mount Lycabettus, the view was beautiful once we reached the top. Thank you so much for recommending that bakery at the end too! If you enjoy walking/hiking and want to see the whole of Athens from the top be sure to book this experience, you won't regret it :)

5.00GEORGE WAS SO KIND AND THOUGJTFUL AND the first time we couldn’t wake up but he was able to make accommodations, and was so understanding! Wonderful Australian accent and so patient. I was caught up on grabbing a prickly pear and he definitely supported us to have the best experience. Great views!
1st sunrise of Athens in 2026!

5.00I got the chance to view the stunning sunrise of Athens, the first one in 2026, and luckily the weather is great with clear blue sky, go while you can still climb a hill, which is not too difficult but of course need a healthy knee. ;)
Beautiful sunrise and lovely city view

5.00Wonderful experience apart from the touristy activities. Had a glimpse of the beautiful Greek sunrise and the city of Athens from above despite some clouds. George shared some history and facts about the city, he is an amazing guide and recommended💯

5.00A chance to see an amazing view of the city as the sun rises (or sets). A great way to get outdoors and active* , without it being too time consuming. And most importantly the tour guide is incredibly nice and helpful.. be gives a good history of the city but you can also ask him for recommendations during your stay!
Hike at dawn on Mount Lycabettus.

5.00Fantastic hike early in the morning on Lycabettus Mountain, our guide George was very kind and showed us and explained from above all the beauties of Athens. We witnessed the raising of the flag and from up there a beautiful 360-degree panorama of the city of Athens. A place and a magical moment of dawn to take wonderful photos.
