Museum of Traditional Greek Ceramics Tours and Activities

You can find out about the history of Athens with a trip to Monastiraki Square. Discover the area's shops or seek out its local tours.

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.

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.

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