- Panathenaic Way - The journey commences on the Panathenaic Way, the most distinguished and celebrated road in ancient Athens, frequented for recreation, voyages, and sacred rituals. Its name derives from the grand procession that took place during the annual Great Panathenaia festival, which honored the birth of the Goddess Athena and her epic conflict with the God Poseidon.
- Temple of Hephaestus - Known as the Hephaisteion, the Temple of Hephaestus stands as the most intact example of a Greek Doric temple. While the temple is consecrated to Hephaestus, the heroic acts of Theseus, the mythical ruler of Athens, embellish the edifice. These depictions have led to the temple being colloquially referred to as the “Thiseion,” a name that has also been extended to the surrounding vibrant neighborhood, now bustling with eateries, coffee shops, and taverns.
- Stoa of Attalos - The renowned Stoa of Attalos represents the pinnacle of Hellenistic architecture that has continuously served its purpose and presently accommodates the Museum of the Ancient Agora. Between 1952 and 1956, the American School of Classical Studies undertook the restoration of the Stoa, which now exhibits artifacts unearthed in the Ancient Agora. The collection is systematically arranged in chronological order, spanning from the Neolithic era to the Roman and Byzantine times, offering visitors an opportunity to traverse history and envision the Ancient Agora from its inception.
