Monastiraki Square Tours and Activities

In the ruins of this monument to knowledge, see the notches in marble where papyrus book rolls were once stored.

The 2,100 year old Stoa of Attalos has risen from the dead in this amazing on-site reconstruction, that also hosts the Museum of the Ancient Agora.

Crowded between some of Athens’ most iconic attractions are the narrow streets and squares of Monastiraki, where history, shopping and ouzo pleasantly blend.

The Roman Agora has both some very practical, and some very unusual, ruins scattered around its wide grassy square.

Since its construction in the 1st century B.C., this remarkable tower has been used as a church, a compass and a site for whirling dervish performances.

You can browse the exhibits at Tzisdarakis Mosque, a museum with a storied past, during your trip to Athens. Make time to visit the area's temples or simply enjoy its top-notch restaurants.
