Two bone relics rest inside golden crosses right here at Saints Constantine and Helen Church, and kids, people actually KISS them for blessings! This picturesque Orthodox church on Karaiskou Street was photographed way back when an American cyclist named William Sachtleben stopped here before pedaling his bicycle all the way across Asia - imagine biking from Greece to China! Look up at those tiny ornate stairs leading to the stained glass windows that sparkle like jewels, and that massive chandelier hanging down like a crystal spider web! The church sits right on the main square, so close you could probably throw a paper airplane to the other buildings across the street!
