    It is one of the most important places to visit in Patra. They say that here is kept the head of Saint Andrew and also that this church is the biggest of all balcany. It is impressive indeed how big it is, if you consider that Orthodox churches are smaller than the Catholic ones. A curiosity is that the first church wasn't the biggest one, but the one at the right, where I really suggest to enter, cause it has an amazing fresco in the ceiling.

    Really good church to visit if you’re in the area. Set nicely on the waterfront. Remember to bring long trousers and cover up.

    The Saint Andreas Orthodox church in Patras is a stunning basilica that hosts the relics of the city’s patron saint, the apostle Andrew. The church is the largest in Greece and has a beautiful dome, a marble iconostasis, and impressive frescoes and mosaics. I highly recommend visiting this church if you are in Patras. Historical trivia: Saint Andrew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and the brother of Simon Peter. He is said to have preached the gospel in various regions, including Asia Minor, Scythia, and Greece. He was martyred in Patras by being crucified on an X-shaped cross, which is now known as the Saint Andrew’s cross.

    Amazing Church. Having as well the relics of Saint Andrew and an extraordinary pieces of Art in all the way place this cathedral maybe the second place to visit in Greece. If you visit Patras it's a pitty to miss this place. Highly reccommanded.

    A magnificent and monunental church decorated with impressive mural and mosaic artworks. The 16th largest orthodox church worldwide and the largest one in Greece. The church houses remains of Saint Andrews. A must see when visiting the city of Patras. The visit can be nicely combined with plenty of nearby cafeterias, restaurants, and organised playgrounds.
