We walked half way and got the cable car the rest of the way . 48 euro for a 5 min journey for 4 I think is a rip off . And the lady at the desk was so rude . When we got to the top the church was cl… Full review by sarah d

You may not spend long here, but it’s worth it for the amazing view. We found we had quite a long hike up the hill (there are steps) from our bus stop before reaching the cable car terminal, but ther… Full review by Tripsie

Q:
I’m trying to figure out the best way to get to the funicular. Is it required to do many flights of stairs before even reaching it? Thank you!
A:
Its a long walk uphill from the subway and we had to ask numerous people how to get there. I'd recommend taking a cab.

Q:
On the funicular. Does anyone know why random words are projected everywhere?
A:
One of the words was Metaxa...a well known Greek spirit drink... So some of it was certainly advertising.

No problem with English at all. I traveled in January so it's about the same-bit cold but dress good and it's no problem!

Hi. Many advises to dont take teleferik/funicular and so go walking until reach the top of the mount BUT I have a 4 years old kid and I would like to know if you think it is feasible for him or that would seems to be too much effort to him. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

If it will be a hot day I wouldn’t recommend it and being that your child is quite young, you might end up having to carry him! Especially if/when he gets tired and starts to cry. The funicular is fine. It is just enclosed so you don’t see anything on the ride up or down. It is a walk up several stairs to it also. You could take a cab also to the funicular or close to the top and then walk up a little bit where the cab can’t go any further. If you are going up there for the view, I’d recommend visiting the Acropolis. You will get to see so much more.
