Byzantine & Christian Museum

About Byzantine & Christian Museum

A superb collection of icons, mosaics and frescoes spanning the Byzantine era, in a peaceful villa and garden. Kolonaki is Athens’s most elegant neighbourhood, on the slopes of Lycabettus Hill, with designer boutiques, galleries and smart cafés around Kolonaki Square, and the Benaki Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art close by. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Byzantine & Christian Museum before you go.
