Mount Lycabettus, Athens
Mount Lycabettus, which in Greek means "the wolf hill" (once it was inhabited by wolf packs, and the locals avoided it) is a pearl of an urban city.

At the very top of the hill a small chapel of Saint George is located, where people gather on religious holidays. Also here is a cozy cafe where you can have a cup of aromatic coffee, have dinner and admire the white streets of the city and the Acropolis. Or you can visit an open-air theater where performances are held in summer.

The mountain is a favorite place for travelers wishing to see the sunset over Athens from the highest point, and among the Greeks tired of the city bustle, noise and traffic of the metropolis.
