This was by far my most favorite ruin in Athens. There is SO much to see. It is just amazing. I liked it even better than the Acropolis. There are some well preserved buildings and ruins of houses. There is also a little museum that is worth a quick look thorugh. they have some interesting artifacts. I would recommend reading... more

The Agora is situation near the bottom of the Acropolis hill and is accessible with your tourist tickets. It is definitely worth seeing and is easy to get to. There is an exit path at the back of it leading to the pathway to the acropolis. more

We would have missed most of the important parts and the significance of the whole area without someone who could put the entire area into perspective. In the end we enjoyed our time there as a result more than going to the... more

I wanted to grab one and through it off the hill and see how many would follow. The... more
