Munichia

Munichia or Munychia (; ) is the ancient Greek name for a steep hill ( high) in Piraeus, Athens, Greece, known today as Kastella (Καστέλλα). This is a fashionable neighborhood in Piraeus. On the top of the hill is a Greek Orthodox church named after the Prophet Elijah. The narrow streets around the church are surrounded by picturesque houses.
