Mount Lycabettus is also known as Lykavittos among the Greeks
it means...hill that is walked by the wolves
height: 277 m above sea level

*another pic stolen fr JS's Nikon SLR*

The mountain can be accessed through a pathway climb fr Kolonaki where we stayed.
it was like 100m fr Couchie George's bachelor pad
the foot of the hill.....not the mountain....it's much much futher than 100m.
the Lims....namely Saint Veeny & JS zoomed up
like 2 powerful Ferraris with dunno how many horse power
thanks to their "Lim's Gene"

while Monkey, Couchie George & Dinos the Great puffed our way up.
hushed & puffed
GAWWWDDD how come they dun have cable car!!!!!
Monkey looked up and GAWWWDDDDDDD
so far more to go~~~~~
GAH GAH GAH

but I wanna see the SUNSET
:"(
in my 2 lil foot...I climbed faster abandoning
the other 2 behind with more GAWD mumblings as they climbed.
after all the GAWD cursings and mumblings during my climb...
this was the 1st scenery I saw when I reached the top~~~
-_-
GAWD has answered my prayers
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hallelujah~~~~~~~

that's the 19th century lil chapel of St. George

chapel's bell

Clouds over the other mountain

Monkey & Couchie George with rosy cheeks

Though staying so near....this was Couchie George's first visit

JS & Couchie George

and he happilly told his friends about the exciting view and climb the next few days
in Greek:
Couchie George: "We took 2 hours to climb u know??"

2 hours????
it was only 20 minutes .....
maybe it felt like 2 hours for u.

we then watch the beautiful sunset over the Aegean Sea
