Temple of Apollo Patroos Tours and Activities

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 Ancient Agora marks the main square of ancient Athens, where its citizens came to trade, talk and try out a novel new fad in government – democracy.

One of Greece’s best-preserved monuments has served a variety of uses over the centuries. Now it stands more or less intact, a testimony to the ambition of the ancients.

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.
