Ultimate Athens Sunrise Hike!

This is a must-do during your visit! Extremely worth getting up early. The hike is fairly manageable and George offers stops to rest as you need them. He’s incredibly friendly and a great guide and I really enjoyed the hike with him! What a perfect way to spend my last morning in Athens!

This was an amazing tour- so worth it! Dont give it a second though just BOOK this! The path is easy… sunrise is beautiful and the view is spectacular!

I want to thank George, the guide, for such a pleasant sports walk to the top of Lycabettus mountain overlooking beautiful Athens in order to watch sunrise. It was such an interesting adventure accompanied with stories about past and modern history of Greece and Greek people. It is a really great start of the day!

This was awesome! Early, but different and a great way to beat the crowds! George is awesome, super nice and a great tour guide!

I was in Athens for a long layover and decided to come into the city using the 24/7 bus X95 which dropped me off a very short walk from the meet up point w George for the sunrise hike. The tour was great, it felt like going for a sunrise catch up with a local friend who’s very knowledgeable about Athens and the greek way of life! Early morning on Lycabettus is exceptional, quiet and green with great views of the city and of the Acropolis. Highly recommend if you’re short on time in Athens and want to beat the crowd! Thank you George :)

If you’re visiting Athens, don’t miss the Ultimate Athens Sunrise Hike with George! Waking up early was 100% worth it. I was lucky enough to have a one-on-one hike with George, and he made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed the entire time. His knowledge of Athens and the surrounding area made the experience even more special. The hike isn’t strenuous, and George happily stops for breaks and makes sure you have plenty of opportunities for incredible sunrise photos. Watching the Parthenon go from the darkness of dawn to glowing in the morning sun was unforgettable. Add in the peaceful streets, adorable cats, and breathtaking views, and it became one of my favorite experiences in Athens. Don’t sleep in—you’ll be so glad you woke up for this!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our morning hike up Mount Lycabettus. The sunrise over Athens was a wonderful reward for our efforts. Our guide, George, was fantastic providing great motivation and informative insights about Athens. The views are outstanding. A great way to combine fitness and exploration, highly recommend.

What a great sunrise hike. George was extremely friendly and accommodating. From pausing when I was slightly out of breath to showing me viewing spots without the tourist hordes, he really went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable and got good photo ops. There was also a nice mix of nature, brief history, and city vibes at the hike’s spots, not too much of one over the other. Super chill and everything kept moving at a great pace. 100% worth getting up early for! 😄 Highly recommend George and Ultimate Athens for anyone after a supportive, well-paced, and intimate hike (run by a local too!!!!)

There is something magical and breathtaking when you witness the Acropolis glow under the rising sun. It may sound crazy waking up at 4.30am whilst on holidays, but you will rewarded with this magical view. George is a wonderful and easy going guide who loves this city and is eager to share it. Don't even think about it. Just do it!!

A spectacular experience! Thank you so much to George for the whole experience. We hiked up Mount Lycabettus, the view was beautiful once we reached the top. Thank you so much for recommending that bakery at the end too! If you enjoy walking/hiking and want to see the whole of Athens from the top be sure to book this experience, you won't regret it :)

George was very nice and patient. He was knowledgeable about Greece and the hike was really lovely. I would highly recommend if you enjoy great views and beautiful sunrises. The hike was also not difficult and was very mild!

We had an amazing experience with this hike! The view was fantastic and the guide George was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable about Greece. I would definitely recommend!

GEORGE WAS SO KIND AND THOUGJTFUL AND the first time we couldn’t wake up but he was able to make accommodations, and was so understanding! Wonderful Australian accent and so patient. I was caught up on grabbing a prickly pear and he definitely supported us to have the best experience. Great views!

I got the chance to view the stunning sunrise of Athens, the first one in 2026, and luckily the weather is great with clear blue sky, go while you can still climb a hill, which is not too difficult but of course need a healthy knee. ;)

Wonderful experience apart from the touristy activities. Had a glimpse of the beautiful Greek sunrise and the city of Athens from above despite some clouds. George shared some history and facts about the city, he is an amazing guide and recommended💯

A chance to see an amazing view of the city as the sun rises (or sets). A great way to get outdoors and active* , without it being too time consuming. And most importantly the tour guide is incredibly nice and helpful.. be gives a good history of the city but you can also ask him for recommendations during your stay!

Hi, the tour guide was really knowledgeable and giving us insight information all throughout the tour. The early wake up can be a little difficult but it was all worth it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an epic view of Athens sunrise. Thank you to George again 🙏.

Exceptional, George showed me places I wouldn't have seen alone! I enjoyed the hike , at impeccable pace and all the explanations! The panorama was incredible! Thanks again, I wish I hadn't done it!
