Walk tour No2: Ano Poli

Universally unparalleled in its postcard-like beauty and its sublime fusion of diverse religion and ethnicity elements, Ano Poli, (Greek for Upper Town), is naturally situated at the highest spot of the city. Its architectural uniqueness, an almost theatrical reproduction of the past, is secured by law of the state, so thankfully the district will remain unchanged in the future. Ano Poli is surrounded by castles of the Byzantine period and churches that date back to the 14th century. Perhaps it is this aura of couleur locale that attracts so many of the city’s youth at its old, but too often thoroughly renovated and relatively cheap apartments. Bordered by Olympiados, Eptapyrgiou, Elenis Zografou Streets and Sykies.
