This is a white church standing on top of Lycabetus Hill. You can go there on foot or by funicular railway. It is believed that during ancient times, the temple of Akreos Zeus was standing there. During the Frank occupation the small chapel of Prophet Ilias took the place of the temple and was later replaced with Aghios Georgios Kavallaris. Nobody knows its accurate date of construction. The bell was donated by Queen Olga, who found the church in a deserted state and decided to reconstruct it.
