From Hilltop to Hilltop

Just like Rome and Constantinople, Athens is also a city of seven hills. Folklore has it that a metropolis with seven hills is an eternal city. For Athens these hills are: the Acropolis, of course, the Hill of the Muses, Mars Hill, Pnyx Hill, the Hill of the Nymphs and Lycabettes Hill. These hills surround the Acropolis as if to protect or pay homage to her. Let's discover the highest two hills, The Hill of the Muses and Lycabettess Hill, together. Just a short walk from Syntagma Square is the uptown suburb of Kolonaki and the foot of Lycabettes Hill (10- 15 mins). As the highest hill In Athens, it has an amazing view. It is a bit of a climb so we will take funicular up (and walk down if you wish). After refreshments, we will continue through the city passing many points of interest, to the Hill of the Muses (55-60 mins) for another spectacular view.
