Lonely Planet review for Lykavittos Hill

A funicular rail car (which leaves from the corner of Aristippou and Ploutarhou) takes you up to cool breezes and superb views on the summit of Lykavittos. Summer concerts are held at the open-air theatre on the northern side. There are two cannons just below on the western side of the hill that fire salutes on special occasions. Regular church services are held at the Chapel of Agios Georgios, the most important being on 23 April, the day of the patron saint, St George, and Good Friday, when there is a moving candlelight procession along the hill.
