Athens Reviews -General

As I am Turkish (and Muslim), I don't see Christian churches often, so apart from the ancient sites, the churches of Athens impressed me the most. I was in the Greek capital about 2 months ago for a conference in wine making and stayed only three days, but they were enough to see the historical centre and some easy-to-go suburbs. I think the most beautiful churches in Athens are found in the centre, such as the small church along Ermou st (I don't know its name, but you will certainly meet it when you go down Ermou st from Syntagma to Monastiraki or back, it looks tiny but dominates the entire square). I also liked the church on top of Lycabetus hill and its tall tower bell. One thought stroke me when I saw the bell tower, that it looks like a minaret, which proves once more that religions are not so distant after all :)) Do not look specifically for churches in Athens, just walk and in the next corner you will see one, then 100 m down you will see another. Churches are almost as frequent as cafeterias in Athnens :)) The Greeks are very religious.
