Over the years the summit of Lykavittos as become very popular with tourists due to it’s 360 degree views of Athens. There are some amazing views of the Acropolis, Kalimarmaro Stadium, and The Temple of Zeus. On clear days you can even see the ships in Piraeus harbour and some of the offshore islands in the Saronic gulf.
Its name, Lykavittos, derives from the Greek word ‘Lykos’ which means Wolf, this comes from the legend that Wolves used to live in the forest that surround the base of the hill. Maybe in the distant past Wolves lived there, but I can certainly say there are no Wolves on Lykavittos hill or in the centre of Athens. Despite Lykavittos hill being the most prominent land mark in Athens, there is very little mention of Lykavittos in ancient literature. One of the few legends to come down to us from ancient Greece is that the rock (Lykavittos hill) was dropped by Athena by mistake as it was meant to be the Acropolis citadel.
