The 5 Best Sights & Landmarks in Exarchia, Attica
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Some of the most renowned and accomplished artists worked on ornamenting this marvellous church. It is dedicated to the Patron Saint of Athens who heard St. Paul preach in the Areopagus and was baptised in 52 CE. Subsequently he became the first Bishop of Athens. Walking along Skoufa it presents a majestic profile. It was built in less than a decade, being unveiled in 1931. The interior is embellished with exquisite icons, frescoes and mosaics. One of the latter portrays against a golden background a Saint with illuminated halo in gold who’s holding a holy book in his right hand. An expansive space has a tremendous iconostasis with gorgeous artistic work and the saintly panoply.
