The Ano Poli is the historic old town, known as the Upper Town because of its hilltop location. 

The upper town can be reached from Odós Olympíados, the curving street that links the lower town on the north to the old town walls and citadel. 

This atmospheric quarter is characterized by its steep, winding streets and pedestrian alleyways. Numerous fountains of the Ottoman era reveal the quarter's Turkish influence.
