• Kerameikos Archaeological Site - This site, often overlooked by tourists, is one of the most significant landmarks. The name Kerameikos means “ceramic,” named for the many ceramic workshops that once existed here. It also served as Athens’ cemetery for many centuries, where many notable Athenians were buried. It is also the site where Pericles delivered his famous “Epitaph” speech for the first casualties of the Peloponnesian War, extolling the virtues of Democracy and the Athenian way of life.
• Monastiraki Flea Market - We take a leisurely stroll through Athens’ Flea Market.
• Hadrian’s Library - Built by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132, Hadrian’s Library is located on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
• Roman Agora - The Roman Agora in Athens is situated north of the Acropolis and east of the Ancient Agora.
• Tower of the Winds - This octagonal building, known as the Tower of the Winds, was constructed by the astronomer Andronicus of Kyrristos in the 1st century BC. It functioned both as a wind indicator and a clock, making it the “Big Ben” of Athens and the city’s meteorological station. The clock was solar-powered, but on cloudy days, a hydraulic mechanism produced a sound every hour. It is considered the first meteorological station.
• Plaka - Plaka is a picturesque neighborhood in Athens, characterized by its small houses and narrow streets.
