An unknown church in the centre of Athens

Its beauty is unique and you feel like being in a small village rather in the capital of Greece

Newsroom September 15 12:43

On the west side of Mount Lycabettus in the centre of Athens is a church which is not well-known by the locals, let alone by foreign tourists.

Agioi Isidoroi church is a small chapel “stuck” in the rock, with wooden roof which was destroyed in 1930 in a fire and was built again a year later.

What makes this church unique is its location, since it seems as if the rock has swollen a part of the building. Also, its green yard as well as the surroundings will make you feel like being in a small village rather in the capital of Greece.

Either you are a resident of Athens or a tourist, you must definitely visit this small church and enjoy also the lovely view.
