GEORGE 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!

I 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

A 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!

Fantastic 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.

Hi, the tour guide was really knowledgeable and giving us insight information all throughout the tour. The early wake up can be a little difficult but it was all worth it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an epic view of Athens sunrise. Thank you to George again 🙏.
