Description

The incredible Ancient Agora of Athens is more than just a historical site. In ancient Greece, it was a bustling marketplace, a social hub, and the beating heart of the city. It’s here that the Athenians came to do their shopping, socialise and put the world to rights.

You'll see one-of-a-kind structures like the unassuming 449 BC Temple of Hephaestus, possibly the best-preserved temple in Greece. This temple was originally a tribute to Hephaestus, the god of metalworking and fire. Similar to the Parthenon, it managed to avoid destruction by converting to a Christian church. This resistant temple has stood the test of time, withstanding earthquakes and invasions!

Another highlight is the Stoa of Attalos, ancient Greece’s answer to a shopping mall. Destroyed in AD 267, it was reconstructed in the 1950s and now houses the fascinating Museum of the Ancient Agora.
