Skywatch over Lycabettus Hill and Athens

A wonderful view of Lycabettus Hill and Athens from the Acropolis. Lycabettus Hill or Mount Likavitos is the highest point in Athens at 277 meters (908 feet) above sea level.

What a pleasant treat it was to see the bright, beautiful sky and gentle cool breeze that greeted us at that moment. Hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I do.

    I really enjoyed these views of the hill. The first one is especially impressive with those clouds, but the blue skies in the others looks good.

    Lovely! It's crazy to think about how densely packed Athens is.

    It's been so long since I was in Athens, and I was so young then, that I have no memory at all of this. Great shots!

    SKY DITTY

    A little birdie told me,
    Although I don’t know why,
    That if I were to look up,
    Way up into the sky,
    I’d see some wondrous planets,
    The moon and sun and stars –
    There before my very eyes
    Blazed Jupiter and Mars!

    Emm,
    it really depends on what you want to see. Acropolis is one of the main reasons why i visited Athens. if you're a fan of ruins and architecture, this is definitely worth a visit and it has the best views of Athens. You can read my previous post here if you're interested.
