Churches in Athens


Agios Symeon
(Saint Symeon)





The small church of Saint Symeon is situated in Anafiotika on Theorias street towards the Acropolis. It was initially built in the 17th century as a small single-naved barrel-vaulted basilica but in 1847 it was rebuilt by the residents of Anafi (hence the name Anafiotika for the area) who settled in the area and took over the church’s maintenance. The icon of the Virgin Mary Kalamiotissa can still be seen in the church today.
