Visit: Ancient Agora of Athens, Adrianou 24, Athens 105 55 Greece
Discover the heart of ancient Athens, the core of political and social activity, where everyone from philosophers and priests to politicians and prostitutes crossed paths.
The ancient Agora of Athens is the best-known example of an ancient Greek agora, located to the northwest of the Acropolis and bounded on the south by the hill of the Areopagus and on the west by the hill known as the Agoraios Kolonos, also called Market Hill.
Athenian agora is a peaceful refuge away from busy city life, with shady trees and a large archaeological space that leads out to several winding pathways and ruins of great significance.
