Lykavittos. Athens. Greece. View of the Bell tower of Agios Georgios, a little whitewashed church dedicated to Saint George which crowns Lykavittos Hill, which rises 277 metres above the city of Athens and is its highest hill. The church bell tower was donated by Queen Olga who found the church in ruins and placed it under her patronage for restoration. The summit of the hill is either reached via foot or via a funicular. Offering Superb views of the city of Athens and the Saronic Gulf, the hill has restaurants, cafes, and a theatre which is used during the summer festival.
