The Gold Book of Piraeus | Page 25

The wonderful terrace of Piraeus looming over the northwest side of Mikrolimano. One of the most majestic parts of the town with an endless panoramic view and an interesting architecture. It is worth strolling along the two-storey neoclassic buildings, the prestigious mansions and the impressive villas of the 19th century offering an air of another romantic area. On the top of the hill looms the amazing church of Prophet Elias and Veaki Theatre (with a capacity of 2,000 seats) attracting a great number of visitors. Info: In the past, Kastella was named “Dexameni district” due to the tank that was on the hill. 25
