Leaving behind Anafiotika leads us to the top of Areopagus hill where a spectacular view awaits. From here you can get a panoramic view of the city of Athens. Notice how Athens was built in the space between mountains and hills; a well-planned fortified city. To the north you can see Mt. Pendeli whose marble was quarried to construct the Parthenon. And the hill you can see facing you is the Athenian centerpiece, Mt. Lycabettus. For some, the name of the hill could have been given to it by the Greek ‘lykos’ meaning wolf, as legend has it that wolves once used it as their roaming ground. Others claim that the goddess Athena, upon seeing two ravens circling the city which was a sure sign of misfortune, decided to launch a rock at the mound of the Acropolis which ended up being none other than the infamous Mount Lycabettus.
