This is a Byzantine church in the same grassy park as the Agora and the Thession - at the foot of the hill north of the Acropolis. It’s a tiny church with a few faded frescos of saints and some carved stonework. It’s just very atmospheric - dark and intimate and peaceful. Also I think its worth walking round to the Thession for the views back over the Agora towards the Acropolis – it’s part of the city where you really feel 'Oh, the ancients walked here'.
