Description
Behold the radiant beauty of Athens on a scenic evening drive through downtown and from the summit of Lycabettus Hill. The urban landscape will absolutely glow as the sun sets and the city lights illuminate the landmarks. As you pass ancient attractions such as the memorial gate to Roman emperor Hadrian and the all-marble 6th-century Panathenaic Stadium, you will get a true sense of Athens’ importance through history. You will enjoy the most sweeping view of the city from atop Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in the center of Athens. To reach this lofty perch, you will ascend the steep slope on a cable car that runs through an underground tunnel. You will be rewarded with the ultimate view of the twinkling urban sprawl that stretches out below. Dining on inspiring Greek appetizers and local wines on the outside terrace of the hilltop Orizones restaurant will enhance the experience.
