Spot the Church of Agia Dynami, a small chapel on Mitropoleos Street fully enclosed by a modern hotel. Look at the odd contrast of old stone and new walls, then peek inside the tiny single-aisle nave.

📖

Full description

Agia Dynami is a small single-aisle Orthodox church at the corner of Mitropoleos and Pentelis streets in central Athens. Its oddity is the setting: the chapel is wrapped on all sides by the modern Electra Metropolis Hotel, making it the only church in the city fully surrounded by a larger contemporary building.

Reviewers describe it as a picturesque little piece of historic religious architecture that is easy to overlook. A brief free stop, open only in the morning, it suits travellers who enjoy the city's quirkier corners.

💡

Good to know

Visit before 1:00 PM, as it keeps morning hours only
it sits close to Syntagma and the Cathedral, so slot it into a walk through the centre
look at the building from the street first to appreciate how the hotel encloses it.
