Full description

This Byzantine-era church on Filellinon Street, a short walk from Syntagma Square, dates to the 11th century and now serves the Russian Orthodox community. What sets it apart is the space below: visitors can go down into the catacombs, where reviewers describe an ancient floor tied to earlier worship on the site.

Reviews call it a hidden gem and note a modest entrance fee for the visit. Compact and atmospheric, it suits anyone who wants a layered historical stop without a long time commitment.

What can you say about a thousand year old Byzantine church with Catacombs. A must see near Syntagma square for only €8 each. Standing on a 2500 year old floor that worshipped Appollo is amazing. Our host Christos was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the church and answered all our questions perfectly.
