St George's Church

This Greek Orthodox Church dates from the early Ottoman period, though it was built on an earlier Crusader church. Entering the courtyard, immediately on the left you'll see the tomb of St George of Cyprus, who became a martyr in Akko in 1752.

You can visit the tomb in daylight hours but schedule in advance to tour inside the church.
