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.

  5. 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.

    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!

  20. 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.
