Psila Alonia Square
Πλατεία Ψηλά Αλώνια
A viewing square on the edge of the Upper Town that overlooks Patras Gulf and sunsets. It has a statue of Metropolitan Germanos, a leader of the Greek War of Independence.
Psila Alonia, meaning “high threshing floor,” lies on a height at the southwestern edge of the Upper Town. The square holds a statue of Metropolitan Germanos, who declared the uprising in Patras in 1821. From the railing you can look over the Lower Town rooftops, the harbor, and Patras Gulf. On clear days, you can see the outlines of islands across the Ionian Sea. It is a local favorite for watching the sunset and having coffee. It is free to visit, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk uphill from George I Square.
