From Lycabettus to Philopappou in Athens

After breakfast at the Grande Bretagne, we walked over to take the funicular up to Lycabettus. We checked out the church at the peak and walked down, visiting another church on the way. We then took the Metro to Monastiraki, had lunch, and visited Hadrian's Library and the Roman Agora on our way to Philopappou, which had a fantastic view of the Acropolis.
