Lykavittos (Mount Lycabettus)Perched above the city, Mount Lycabettus is the highest point in Athens and a site of both mythological and historical importance. In ancient tradition, it is linked to the goddess Athena, while over time it also served as a natural lookout and a place of retreat. At its summit stands the Chapel of St. George Lycabettus, a small post-Byzantine chapel dedicated to Saint George. Though modest, it reflects the long-standing religious presence on the hill and the broader tradition of spiritual withdrawal found in Athens’ monastic heritage.
